This place and especially all the kind people who work here helped me when I really needed help the most. They reached a hand out to support and encourage me when I was lost and alone in that deep dark hole. I am clean and sober 5 yrs now and I have my own little apartment where I am safe and don't have to do sketchy things for sketchy reasons anymore. I am Blessed and every day I thank God for the opportunity to climb out of that damned hole and create a new kind of life. God bless.

This is fantastic! As heartbreaking as it is to have a child experiencing homelessness, I’m so thankful this is the center he made his way to. They have amazing opportunities to help you grow, employment services, and learn, as well as medical and dental providers. Watching this video gave me so much hope 🙏🏽💕😭🥺

I'm so glad to have seen this. Thank you Jeremy for allowing your family to be interviewed. Your daughter, Morgan was particularly heartwarming. I've struggled off and on with my own family over the years. Buy hearing her talk about the food, and seeing her excitement over the pumpkin pie reminded me just how simple things need to be for our babies.
I remember getting a food box once, feeling as if I had nothing to offer my kids. Then I look over and my two little ones were just ecstatic over those little applesauce cups! Freaking applesauce. They were so happy. They didn't feel anything I was feeling. I'll never forget that. It's a great reminder when times get hard.
I'm not far from Tucson, over in Casa Grande. We have no homeless shelters. Well we have Against Abuse. But it's for women and children only, and you have to be escaping abuse. If we could have something like this, even on a much smaller scale, would just be amazing!!
God bless you all. Thank you for this interview. 💜😊
