My name is Dawn Wilson. I am a former resident of Community of Hope’s Girard Street shelter. Since May of last year, my kids and I have been in our own place as part of Community of Hope’s Home Now program.

I first came to Girard Street May 1st, 2008 with 3 of my children.  The house I was living in was sold, and I was told by the new owner I had to find somewhere else to live. My kids’ father tried to help but at that time he wasn’t working.

“If someone is really determined to make a change, Community of Hope is the place for them!”
