TRANSITIONAL HOUSING PROGRAM You sheltered families at our 3 (soon to be 4) Transitional Shelters
SARA’S SUCCESS IS YOUR SUCCESS! What an incredible journey home it’s been for Sara and her four kids over the past 18 months — a journey that you have made possible! Sara arrived with nowhere to go and four boys who had to overcome the effects of major trauma. It was not an easy road. But Sara’s hard work, resilience and persistence is undeniable. She never gave up on life… or her dream of having their own home. Today, Sara is a strong young mom, a new hire with a great job, a woman in recovery and growing in her faith, and a student working on attaining her GED! Just weeks ago, Sara
families sheltered in 2020 61 66 parents 128 children
and her family moved into their new home! Sara recalls the squeals of joy as her four kids ran round and round their new home: “They just can’t believe the space they have. It’s the first time they’ve ever had two bedrooms to run through! I remember when I came into the program and now I have graduated! You gave me a support system, a family, and my home. It is going to be a mission but at the end of the day, God is always with me wherever I go. I will overcome and I know I will be fine. I love all of you guys, you are my family.”
LONG-TERM IMPACT
64% increased income 86% increased savings 92% improved mental health 71% children improved social outcomes
22 families moved into their own home 47% increase from 2019
Sara and her family moved into their new home with the help of the Scheidler family (aka our angel- donors!) who rented a moving truck and drove all the way from San Diego to deliver beds, mattresses, pillows and bedding to Sara and her kids to make sure they had beds to sleep in the first night in their own home!
