Their Story

I became homeless in 2004. I was living with my mom and stepdad in Granger,...

but my mom had a severe drug addiction. Because I loved her I tried to support her and her condition, but when my stepdad found out he kicked me out of the house. I've been homeless for 12 years now. I have several medical conditions which inhibit me from working full time, but I love playing musical instruments, reading books and loving other people. I've applied for housing everywhere but it's like the echo of a dark void...resonating silence. I'm working to get a part-time job in retail, quick service, coffee etc. I really could use a chance and hope to work with people. "Don't judge someone by how they look like and dress, get to know them. Anyone who has been homeless can tell you a little bit about something."

Help create life-changing outcomes with acts of kindness

Send messages of encouragement, contribute to emergent needs (such as food, clothing, and medication), and become part of someone’s journey home

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."
