student at Pulaski Tech
―I think that everybody there was on the verge
of an upcoming to do something great,‖ Krystle
remembers about the other residents she met
while at Our House. ―They were determined to
do something for themselves.‖
She says she used to prefer keeping to herself
but likes that she had the chance at Our House
to be around people more. ―The atmosphere
was like family and love. That was good for me.‖
After leaving Our House, Krystle got her GED
and is now a student at Pulaski Tech. She plans
to be a counselor. While she‘s in school, she‘s
also the full-time mom of the six kids.

Like her husband, Krystle gives Our House
credit for the family‘s current independence.
―Our House was there to give us a great boost to
… being on our own and helping us be able to
make it without assistance.‖ She tells us how
grateful she is for the continued connection
with Our House, even though their family is
now independent. ―Y‘all still look out for us! It
keeps us on our toes.‖
You may recognize the Barnum family from
our previous website‘s home page. The family
also let us photograph them for our 2009
video of Cliff and two other Our House clients
talking about their experiences in our programs.
This spring, Our House‘s Zac Hale filmed the
Barnum family at their house to update their
success story. Click the images at right to see
