Stay Informed

Meet Rene

I was so hungry all of the time and I remember my mommy waking me up early on Saturday mornings so we could have breakfast from a church who served it under the bridge with other homeless people. Sometimes we got to share a bed and other times we slept with other people in a big room at the homeless shelter. It was always scary. I wore the same clothes every day because mommy said we couldn’t carry too much while we walked around looking for food and a place to sleep. The shelters were so cold and their blankets were very thin, but it was way better than the nights outside. I cried when my mommy told me that we finally had a home to live in and that I would never be cold and hungry again.
