Nardinia is a loving and devoted individual, often described as a ray of sunshine. Her bright smile is one of the first things that students, parents, and colleagues notice—it leaves a lasting impression on everyone she meets. Her passion for serving others extends far beyond the classroom, reaching neighbors, church members, pupils, and her own family. At this time, Nardia has taken an important step forward by transitioning into her first apartment. As she embraces this new chapter, she has reached out for support with her security deposit. Your assistance will help ease this transition and allow her to continue being the uplifting presence so many depend on.

Ms. Krista began experiencing homelessness after a back injury followed by a coma prevented her ability to work in 2021. After several months of physical therapy and using a rollator, she has made significant progress in her health. Since arriving to our shelter, she has secured her dream job as a security guard where she can work comfortably with great benefits. Due to the distance of her work, she purchased a car. Now she needs car insurance before she can pick up the car. To continue her momentum of success, she is asking the community to assist in purchasing car insurance. This will do wonders for her long-term stability for her employment and her future housing.

Before Ms. Karla came to our shelter, she was the caregiver for her elderly father for 13 years until he passed away from dementia at 90 years old. Her family then had to sell the home Karla was living in to pay off her father's debts. Now she is juggling recent health concerns, homelessness, and re-entering the workforce. Any assistance she receives for her storage will help her hold on to cherished mementos and ease her future transition into housing.
