Five months ago, I met Anne and Kevin when they were living on the streets. About a month later, they moved from a tent into a car. I jumped in to help fix up the car, and not long after, Kevin landed a job. I made sure he had everything he needed to get started—even covered gas for the first month while he got back on his feet.
I told them if they could save up for a place, I’d match whatever they had. The very next week, we got them into a home. I covered the deposit and first week’s rent—$800—and they finally had a safe place to call their own.
Anne then received a grant to start school but needed a device for her studies, so I got her a tablet. A little while later, their car broke down, and to keep them moving forward, I gave them my old Honda Civic.
It’s been over three months now, and they’ve been thriving off the streets. Just last Friday, we celebrated Anne’s birthday together with a steak dinner.
Today and tomorrow, I’ll be sharing more of our journey together to show how far they’ve come. Thank you all for your support—I couldn’t have done this without you.
