Letter From A Participant

My wife and I recently became homeless due to a foreclosure on our home. This was the result of several factors, but for the most part was due to illnesses [which] imposed hardships on my ability to maintain employment and be the main provider for [my wife and two daughters]...We were able to stay at the [S*A*F*E Center] homeless shelter for about two weeks and then were able to be placed in Stepping Stones. We once again have a sense of hope for our future which recently seemed very bleak.
