For the last week, Eddie Louise Horace and her grandkids have found shelter at a Del Mar church. Before that, they had been in motel rooms. And when the money ran out, they started living out of her car.
Horace and the little ones are among those who can count on a safe place and warm food, at least for the next few months, now that a few houses of faith have opened their doors to provide winter shelter.
“Sleeping in that car — with two kids, one on the seat, one on the floor, you having to wake up to see who is around — you really can’t sleep but you have to sleep,” Horace said. “Here, I feel safe. We are inside, it’s not cold, I’m able to rest. We are able to be together.”
