“I hadn’t spoken to another person in weeks when Volunteers of America found me.”
friend, Ed’s story is a testament to the power of good in every one of us. He showed up at VOA one night after winter conditions became extreme. Ed had been going it alone, living homeless after an electrical fire took his family home. He lost everything and struggled for a break, running out of hope that things could improve.
The local VOA stepped in, providing meals, shelter, and counseling. Ed found his direction, and things began to change for the better.
Just one gift to VOA this holiday season—$25, $150, even more—will provide critical relief and services for people in desperate need. For Ed, it saved his life when he was at the brink, unable to see his worth or believe that neighbors like us can help.
