“This family was renting an affordable apartment until their neighbors began using illegal substances around their children. Out of fear for their safety they had to flee. Unable to find safe and affordable housing, they soon became homeless. Please help us in congratulating this family for their strength and perseverance as PATH helped them Make it Home! Special thanks to the local fashion boutique, Bobbi Rocco, for helping fully furnish their new home!”

“You’re never too young to learn fiscal responsibility; and this is especially true for the kids we care for at Door of Hope. We are a local non-profit that helps families and children experiencing homelessness. I’ve been the After-School Program coordinator at Door of Hope for a few years now, and I want to share with you how we are teaching our kids how to manage their money.
Our overarching goal in the After-School Program (ASP) is to try and break the cycle of homelessness to ensure that our kids never return to homelessness as adults. The ASP covers all aspects of child development: education, emotional stability, and physical wellbeing. In addition to those areas, we are building in life skills to our kids that will serve them for a lifetime.
Being a good steward of finances and resources is at the top of that list. We want to ingrain a value of money in our children, as well as provide an understanding of how financial institutions work so they are comfortable with them at a young age.”

At a Piece by Piece workshop, you might hear artisan John quote from Shakespeare’s Hamlet. He knows most of it by heart. His sense of humor and entertaining stories keep everyone smiling. Although he expresses himself well through the vivid images of his experiences with apparent ease, he has only recently embraced sharing his story with others. In fact, in January, he publicly spoke about his experiences at the University of Southern California’s Empowerment Congress Summit.”
