I have made many sacrifices along the way but being able to give my child a sense of security is worth it all. Saving for a home purchase was tough as a single motherIn January, I began my home buying journey. I was working for the US government and receiving additional money from the Department of Veteran Affairs for a disability. I was scared during my home buying journey, and there were times that I wanted to give up but I persisted. I've also missed out on family gatherings and pursuing relationships — all so I could save money to buy a home.
