Homeless: In their words
People seeking shelter or home write emails to Beacon on a regular basis seeking leads. Some are terse, others reveal details of their situation or a sense of desperation. They come from moms, dads, youth, seniors, concerned relatives or social workers. The need is dire, the availability is scarce. These are the people for whom your donations, advocacy and volunteering can make a difference.
In their own words, a sampling of emails in our inbox:
