Seven Bridges Homestead Details
Seven Bridges Homestead was founded by Sophia Harrison in January 2020. Ms. Harrison personally fell on hard times and found herself homeless and transient. She encountered many hardships along the way that included mental illness, substance abuse and encountering several occurrences of domestic violence. In 2009 several women, predominantly African American women were murdered along a stretch of highway in rural Nash and Edgecombe counties. Seven Bridges Road is the name of this highway, and this organization would be in honor of these murder victims. Ms. Harrison realizes that she easily could have been a victim as well. Seven Bridges Homestead is a nonprofit organization that serves a specialized population, single displaced women who don't have any children. The mission is to prevent single displaced women from being exploited and much worse. Many times they face overwhelming hardships and end up in horrific situations and can't get the help they desperately need. This leaves women vulnerable to threats to their safety. It's not always due to domestic violence or substance abuse. There are a plethora of reasons why a single woman finds herself homeless. Seven Bridges Homestead will provide women a safe place to rebuild their lives, regain their strength, and reclaim their independence once again.
