Their Story

At the age 16, I ran away from home. Within 6 years, I was pregnant. They...

gave up my son for adoption because I was in addiction and homeless. I then turned to prostitution to support my habit and to be wanted. Then I found the Lord. I've been clean for over a year now and have been looking for employment. I just want a stable, safe environment again and to grow to be independent. I lack the right clothing and even a birth certificate. But I do have my ID and social security. I'm work-ready. I just want an opportunity. It brings tears to my eyes to have a beacon. That you might read my story and see me for who I am and not what I look like or where I came from… thank you so, so much. Ask me about woodworking and what all my dad taught me!

These are our neighbors

During this unprecented time, it's never been more important to help them find a safe, stable, supportive place to sleep at night.

We find that when we wrap a social home around someone, they gain the capacity to often find the physical home soon after.

You are invited to join one or many who seek to find a home this year.

The number one question I'm asked, is " Jeff, how do I respond when asked for help on the street? Samaritan is an answer to that question.

This is the first time in seven years people have seen me for who I am, not what I look like or come from.

Thanks to samaritans for checking up on and feeding me… Don’t know how I would have ate or kept warm many nights without you.

Sometimes, you can feel really invisible and it can kind of feel al lot of times like there's no help out there. It was just nice to have people be like "Yea, we really want to help."
