Celebrating Our Residents!

Congratulations to one of our Oakland Homecoming residents who just received his High School Diploma!

Thanks to your generous donations, Daniel was able to transition into a supportive living environment while finishing his courses. Our staff celebrated his accomplishment with a graduation party where everyone shared some words of wisdom for continuing on this path of success. 

Daniel shared some thoughts about his time living in the Oakland Homecoming house. He said, "I've received a lot of mentorship, and that has broadened my horizons and my outlook. The house is helping me stay focused on what's important - the essentials in life. I'm maturing one day at a time, and everything is starting to fall together. I feel like I found my roots."

You have helped us raise $10,065 so far through 106 donations. We need your continued support to help us reach our goal of $15,000 to continue providing housing, job training, and wraparound services to our Oakland Homecoming residents as they transition from homelessness to stability.

Thank you for making our vision a reality. We can't wait to update you in the new year!

Sincerely,

The Roots Family
