Thank you for giving!
A story from a family we served.
After my relationship ended, my daughter and I were faced with the fact that we had nowhere to go. I worked part-time because she went to school half-day, and I didn't earn enough to support the two of us on my own. I spoke to someone at my daughter's school who told me to call Family Promise. I was treated with so much kindness and didn't feel judged. They helped me find a full-time job and get my daughter into school full-day. After nearly three months of being there, I was in my own one-bedroom apartment. My life today is peaceful, no longer chaotic, and my daughter is thriving. I thank God for Family Promise and how it helped me and my daughter.
