I don't know where I would be in my life without Helping Hand House. I have degenerative kidney disease and am waiting for a transplant, so I can't work regularly. Because of Helping Hand House, I have a home to live in, am able to keep my son, and am safe while I wait for my transplant. Without them, I would be on the street.

Three days after Christmas, my 3 kids and I were forced from our house because of foreclosure notice served on our landlord. We were shocked and scared. Helping Hand House put us into an emergency home and gave us all the resources and supplies we needed to be successful going forward. We are now back on our feet, in our own home, and doing well because of Helping Hand House.

I'm a single father of four kids. Helping Hand House gave me a lift up when I lost my job and had nowhere to go. They gave my hope when I felt hopeless. Now I am in a house where my kids all have their own bedrooms.

When we came to Helping Hand House, I had just lost a good job and my wife and five kids and I were living with my parents. We didn't know what we were going to do. After Helping Hand House provided a home for us, I got a minimum wage job and we started our lives over. Now, we've come so far and are almost ready to buy our first house as a family. We would not have been able to dream about ever owning a home without the people at Helping Hand House.
