Homeless Mother Reunited With Six Kids In New Apartment: ‘I Have All My Babies, They’re Happy, They’re Content’

Tiffany Harden is overwhelmed with happiness in her new apartment — along with her six young kiddos.

Since February of last year — Harden and her six young children have a place to call home.

“I’m grateful. I have all my babies, they’re happy, they’re content. We literally have everything we need,” Harden said.

Last year, the Harden family was homeless — bouncing between four Peoria shelters. In December WMBD revealed how the family was kicked out of their third shelter, The Southside Mission Women’s and Children’s Center when it closed down.

The closure forced the 33-year-old to split up her family just before Christmas.

Harden said it was difficult finding a shelter that would take seven people, and for close to 30 days, three of her children lived at Esther House with her while her other three children stayed with a relative.

“I {am} glad I {can} be in the same house as my kids. I {can} open the door to see what they are doing. Like I can wake up with all my babies,” she said.

The community came to her aid and donated over $2,000 to her GoFundMe account — which she was then able to use to furnish her new apartment.

“They never had their own beds before so it’s really awesome every last one of them {has} their own bed,” she said.

Harden has been in this apartment since January and said the family has everything they need aside from a queen mattress and living room furniture.
