Tara, a dedicated single mom, was working hard to provide for herself and her family, but after the birth of her youngest, her minimum-wage job could no longer keep up with the cost of caring for two kids. With support from our Outreach team, she and her kids are rebuilding stability with help from a supportive housing community.

When Kelly arrived at Mary’s Place with her two young sons, Cole and Jayce, they had nothing but the clothes on their backs. Like many families fleeing domestic violence, Kelly had to leave everything behind — family photos, important documents, and her children’s favorite stuffed animals. That’s when a kind stranger told her about Mary’s Place, where she could find emergency shelter and housing resources for families experiencing homelessness.
