Something has changed in this young woman for the better and I believe it is because you guys gave her a home and a purpose again. She did not know what was wrong with her and she did not know Christ. Although she only stayed in your program for approx ninety days. I just wanted to thank you and my higher power,Jesus Christ for helping her to believe in life again. She needs more love and support and always prayer, but now she has a chance like never before. Thank you for your commitment and the loving work you all so willingly do. Take this from someone who knew her before and is happy to see that little girl smile:) love Kelley A Dear Shepard’s Gate:

I have worked at Shepherd's Gate for the last 13 years and have met so many women who have had to live on the streets or in their cars, something which I have not experienced. So to try and better understand, in a very small way, what it is like I borrowed my sister's van and lived in it for five days. I realize I still do not know what it is like to be homeless, but in those five days I got a micro-taste and it has changed my life and fueled an even deeper passion to help those who are homeless. I am sorry for the pain you are experiencing right now and if there is anyway we can help please call 925-443-4283. This was not meant to be offensive in anyway.

When I was homeless with my 4yr. Old we were fortunate enough to have a 1991 Honda Accord-much less room than a minivan... I would have to drive my daughter around til she fell asleep while she cried the whole time to "go home." Since that time in my life my dream car has actually been a Honda Odyssey ;) Anyway, I think it is wonderful that you want a greater understanding of what women go through when they no longer have a place to call home. God bless. Jen, you are so blessed to have use of your sister’s van! When I was homeless with my 4yr.
