about Erica's Second Breath
Safe Haven for Women in Need
Erica’s Second Breath Transitional Housing, founded by Erica Buckman, is rooted in a deep commitment to compassion, resilience, and restoration for women in need. Erica’s personal journey as a double lung transplant recipient, cancer survivor, and mother of three has profoundly shaped her mission and dedication to service. With an Associate of Science degree, certifications in Medical Billing and Coding, Peer Support, and Community Support, and over 15 years of experience in the medical field, she brings both professional expertise and lived experience to her work.
The transitional housing program is specifically designed to support women facing homelessness, domestic violence, and/or substance abuse. Erica’s Second Breath provides a safe, nurturing environment where women can begin the healing process and take meaningful steps toward rebuilding their lives. More than just shelter, the program offers guidance, stability, and compassionate support. Drawing from her own life experiences, Erica has created a space where women are empowered to rediscover hope, rebuild their strength, and move forward on a path toward independence and lasting change.
