Rachel and Jackson Smith (not their real names) have four children between the ages of 11 and 19. Jackson uses a wheelchair as a result of a stroke. Mary's Place helped the Smiths move to a new home in early 2019. Rachel was working then but lost her job as a school bus driver when schools closed due to COVID-19. Unless we act quickly to prevent homelessness with assistance programs scaled to meet the need, thousands of families like the Smiths will face homelessness.

The transition out of homelessness is made even more gratifying when you have the furniture and essentials to feel at home!

Keola needed medical care. His family needed shelter. Mary’s Place helped with both.
