Help People Escape Homelessness

Hi there,

I’d like to share a story that reminds us why your support through our Help People Escape Homelessness project matters so much.

Every week, volunteers from Ruta Alba travel through Cerro Navia carrying hot meals, fresh bread, and something equally important: the certainty that no one should be forgotten. Led by volunteers like Gustavo, Alejandra, and Baithiare, they visit people living on the streets, offering not only food but also compassion, conversation, and respect.

During one of these visits, we met Roxana, who is recovering from a leg amputation while living under a high-voltage tower, protected only by a plastic sheet alongside her son. Despite everything she has endured, she still speaks with kindness and hopes for a safer future. Volunteers are helping her access medical care while working to secure a place where she can recover with dignity.

Stories like Roxana's remind us that homelessness is about much more than lacking a roof. It is about people who deserve to be seen, heard, and treated with humanity.

Because of you, we can continue reaching those who need it most with warm meals, compassionate support, and hope during life's hardest moments.

Thank you for standing with us and helping restore dignity, one person at a time.

Hi there,

I want to share with you a powerful story that reflects the impact of your support through our Let’s Give Them the Dignity They Deserve project.

Meet Eduardo. After losing close family members, he found himself completely alone and eventually living on the streets. Life became harsh and uncertain — days and nights marked by cold, loneliness, and the feeling of being invisible.

But things began to change when he connected with Hogar de Cristo. Through our support, Eduardo found not only shelter, but also a new sense of belonging and community. Step by step, he started rebuilding his life, surrounded by people who welcomed him, listened to him, and stood by his side.

What makes Eduardo’s story so meaningful is not just the help he received, but the transformation it sparked. Today, he speaks about having a new family, about feeling part of something again — something many of us take for granted.

Because of you, stories like Eduardo’s are possible.
You are helping people move from isolation to connection, from the streets to dignity, and from survival to hope.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Hogar de Cristo
