Ms.Jones is a retired grandmother raising three of her young grandchildren. She has recently experienced a reduction in income and supportive services for the children. Living solely on her fixed monthly payment, she now finds herself stretching every dollar beyond belief just to meet basic household needs. Despite the many challenges the children have already faced in such a short time, Ms. Sherri works tirelessly to ensure they do not feel the weight of financial hardship. Her greatest priority is maintaining stability, comfort, and a sense of normalcy in their lives. At this time, Ms. Sherri is reaching out for community support to help her continue providing a warm, stable home with electricity and essential utilities. Your assistance would help ensure that these children can focus on being children — learning, growing, and enjoying the promise of a hopeful and bright future.

Kristen is a survivor of domestic violence and came into our emergency shelter earlier this month. The very first day she was here, she already had job interviews scheduled. Kristen has hit the ground running and is now in training at her new job. She takes the bus and rides her bike home at night which takes her over an hour. She is not one to be deterred and is doing everything she can to help herself get back on her feet. Her phone has been disconnected, and she has not gotten her first paycheck. Your support of $150 will help Kristen get her phone reconnected.

Janine reached out to Safe Harbor in early February for assistance with housing and regaining custody of her 2 children. The judge initially granted custody to Janine's ex/abuser and claimed she did not have enough room for her kids because she was living in her mother's basement . While the custody agreement has since been resolved, Janine is still worried about having safe and affordable housing for her family. She has a move-in date in late March, but first, she needs help paying the deposit. Please support Janine's next step towards safe housing by donating to the Giving Wall. Thank you!
