Your Generosity Has Been a Blessing
Thank you! Ruth has traveled all over the world. She knows many languages, and the histories of many foreign countries.
More importantly, she successfully dealt with a disability from birth and raised two children. Her life also involved a very abusive marriage and several admissions to mental health facilities.
Today, Ruth sometimes acts as though the past is the present and becomes very confused. Yet, as a resident of a Volunteers of America affordable housing complex, she can maintain dignity, independence and ongoing help in receiving supportive mental health care.
Frank moved into his apartment with nothing but the clothes on his back, confronted with the hard issues of poverty. Thanks to the many people who donate gently used items to the Volunteers of America Thrift Stores, he was able to select clothing and other necessities such as a bed, blankets and kitchen items from our Thrift Store at no cost to him. Through the assistance of our Emergency Services program, he was able to restart his life.
Ruth and Frank are just two of the many people whose lives have been made safe and secure through Volunteers of America.
Volunteers of America is about helping people in need maintain dignity and achieve independence. For 115 years, generous people like you have made it possible for Volunteers of America to make positive changes in the lives of individuals and families.
