Shanon’s life still has many challenges, including 21 outstanding debts and living in an old, rundown house in a dangerous neighborhood. In 2018, she filed for bankruptcy, owning little and owing over $14,000. She had two unusable cars and listed her homeware, electronics, clothes, shoes, and jewelry, which were worth $9,650.

Despite these challenges, Shanon holds deep love and pride for her daughter. “I do have a direct number, but I won’t use it. I want her to reach out to me,” she said. “Simone is 27 now. She’s married. I would have liked to have been a part of that, but I just have to wait for her.”

Since 2022, Shanon has turned her life around, staying out of trouble and working as a cashier at a discount grocery store. She hopes that one day, Simone will accept her apology and give them both a chance to mend their relationship.
