After years of living in a cramped trailer, Maria, who is disabled, and her family were fortunate to move into a two-bedroom apartment. But the excitement was quickly replaced by a deep sense of hopelessness as Maria stared at the empty, lifeless space around her. This was supposed to be a fresh start, but without beds, chairs, or even a table to gather around, it felt just as bleak as the tiny trailer she and her family had finally escaped.
Will you make a donation today to help provide essential furnishings and fresh food for one family in need? Every day, hundreds of families in our community are fighting just to keep a roof over their heads. After securing housing, many move in with nothing–their income barely covers rent, leaving no room for the basics that create stability and security.
For Maria and her family, moving into the apartment brought a new set of challenges they simply couldn't overcome. They had next to nothing to turn the empty apartment into a real home and no way of paying for furniture, new or used.
Will you help families like Maria's turn an empty space into a furnished, functional home? Your gift of $60 can help a family transform bare rooms into welcoming homes by providing essential furniture, household items, and nourishing food.
Furniture Share is serving 38% more individuals this year to date over last year. Your $60 gift will help support increasing numbers of low-income and extremely low-income individuals and families.
Your donation provides more than just things–it gives a child their very first bed, a family a place to gather to create memories, and a box of fresh meat, eggs, vegetables, and fruits that provide both nutrition and the comfort of a shared meal.
Your $60 donation will also help families maintain their housing. Research shows that individuals who enter housing without basic furnishings are more likely to struggle with instability and return to homelessness.
