Have you ever felt lost? Wandering through life… confused… discouraged… without hope that things can get better.

Mary, a resident of our Family Life Center, knows what that feels like. Recently, she became homeless for the first time —a situation she never thought she would face. Please take a moment to read her heartfelt note of thanks for people like you who helped her when she was lost and provided a warm and safe place for her to live.
