We are thrilled to announce a huge victory for Ms. Crenshaw: she is finally moving into her own apartment! After battling vital organ failure and enduring rigorous dialysis treatments alongside three stays in emergency shelter over the last two years, this fresh start is monumental. Tragically, she lost all her belongings due to the unaffordable cost of storage during her homelessness. As she sets up her new space, we are reaching out to the greater Richmond community for help with essential home furnishings, particularly those unique items needed to sustain her physical health through dialysis. Let's provide Ms. Crenshaw with the dignity, comfort, and security she deserves, allowing her to turn this empty space into a true home and focus entirely on her physical recovery.

Ms. Marsh is currently facing immense challenges, experiencing joblessness and housing insecurity, having sought refuge in a shelter on three separate occasions. Her primary need right now is a lifeline: a phone. This simple device is crucial for her to stay in vital contact with the medical professionals who are guiding her mental and and physical health journey. Despite recommendations to rest, Ms. Marsh is courageously striving for financial stability to secure the foundation she desperately needs: stable housing and consistent care for her mental and physical well-being. A phone is the essential first step in this difficult journey, offering her the connection and hope she needs to move forward.
