Individuals with Disabilities struggle daily
By Lois Healy | Project Lead
Our donations to this fund this quarter were minimal and although they were minimal we were still able to pay a water bill for a disabled client. The struggle for disabled individuals is real, and every little bit helps! We appreciate any and all donations and the gift you give may save a disabled person from being evicted, having their power turned off or being able to buy food.
We forget that disabled individuals rely on a very fixed income any extra costs that may occur can cause turmoil in their lives so thank you for your much needed donations, they will make a difference in the life of a disabled person!

More Disabled Individuals Are Becoming Homeless
By Lois Healy | CEO/Project Leader
Our changing Economy, rising rents, rising food prices, and just the increase in everyday living is causing disabled individuals on a fixed income to become homeless. We have seen an increase in our homeless population due to rent prices increasing from $650-$900 per month to $1,200 to $2,200 per month for a 1 bedroom apartment. The average person who is Disabled or Elderly makes between $850- $1,450 per month so based on the rising rent prices most of these individuals are now becoming homeless.
We are building the Single Room Occupancy Dwellings to house these individuals but we can't build them fast enough to slow the number of people who are losing their housing. These homes come with connection to services and case management which is important when individuals are homeless especially disabled clients for any period of time because they have PTSD from living on the street. In the meantime small donations mean a lot, we can help with food, utilities or sometimes hotel bills for individuals becoming homeless until we can house them any bit of humanity goes a long way. Please donate to this worthy cause your donations can change a life! This quarter we did not receive any donations towards this cause, a little goes a long way, won't you help to change a person's life?

Not Many Donations for this fund this quarter
By LOIS HEALY | CEO/Project Leader
As prices rise and the number of people with disabilities increases and the lack of affordable housing increases for people that are disabled. These individuals are faced with a horrible reality of becoming homeless due to no fault of their own. This quarter we only received a donation of $25 to help towards this worthy cause, unfortunately that amount did not allow us to do much this quarter. The money we received helped a disabled person buy food which is growing increaingly expensive. So thank you for your continued donations towards this worthy cause without your support we can't continue to make a difference.
