Because of your generosity, this guest was able to secure housing and sustainable employment. This post is an excerpt from an interview from our podcast, “Neighbors of Rome,” scroll to the bottom to hear the full episode.
The first time I got to see The Women’s House, they were still remodeling. I got to volunteer, help[ing] set up the beds. I had no idea a few years later I would be a guest there.
When I walked in the door for the first time, they made me feel like a guest. All the women were just wonderful, all the way from the top down to the bottom. I wouldn’t be here today if, you know, if they hadn’t stepped in and helped me. It really was like a family.
There were days I would come in from work late at night and they would have my dinner ready for me. There’s nothing they wouldn’t do for a guest, and I can’t even really begin to list all the wonderful things.
