Never thought I would become a client at this location..when things went south for me, this is where I lived while I got back to being able to live at a place I could call home...it was a place to sleep, eat, get clothing, and help from the staff...Prior to Covid, there was a lot of us there, when Covid took off, we ware dispersed to different parts of the city. 60+ of us located to the westend of the city and then to the sw for final placement in our own rentals...through out the process we were helped by the staff. To be candid, as a former "homeless person" I saw many acts of kindess from people who would come in and serve meals pre-covid or drop off food, clothing etc outside the Drop-in over xmas. On the flip-side i saw the seedier parts of what happens to people who have lost everything and only care for drugs etc...It is not easy, and to be kind you have to have a plan to get out of this environment. With the help of the staff, alot of us have our own places, employment or are starting our own businesses. We don't ask for much, just an opportunity to contribute to society. You woujld be surprised on how much "kindness" means to us. To know we are not the forgotten people. That small act of charity made a difference for me and my future.
