Someone Really Does Care

We met a young man in our office that had been in a serious motorcycle accident. Fortunately he is now on the mend and has a sister who took him in during the healing process. 

Before coming to our office they had applied for assistance and had been turned down by a couple of agencies. 

They stated it was hard for them to enter our door, especially after working on hours of paperwork for other services and being rejected. He said he has never asked for help before and his goal is to go back to his same job, live in the same rental house and do the best he can keeping his bills paid with what income he had from his last paycheck. 

Knowing that he is not going to be able to return to work for awhile, we started by visiting with him and giving him encouragement. We looked over his papers and are continuing to look into services he is eligible for. When he looked up from signing papers he stated there is hope and someone really does care. 

Sometimes all they need is someone to listen when they speak, which makes us realize it takes so little to make a difference in someone’s life.

Just to be Warm & Safe

A client who is in an abusive relationship came to the office recently in need of housing & food. During the search for housing we helped her make contact with the landlord for low income housing. Fortunately there was an apartment that had come available that day. As we continued to work on helping her on the first month’s rent deposit, a local person called wanting to donate money to help someone in need. Everything started coming together for the client, & you could see her spirits being lifted. As she was without transportation, the client now had a ½ mile walk to work from her new apartment. The same hour a new warm heavy coat was donated to our office. What an amazing day for the client who had felt so down. Watching her walk out of the office with her head up and smiling, we knew we had helped her struggles become a little easier.
