When he came to us this year, “Jeb” was among the, too often, unseen homeless in our community.  He was unemployed, unsheltered, and had nothing.  We quickly referred him to 211, the County’s single point of entry for the shelter system and to the Human Services, Inc. street outreach team for case management in navigating other resources he needed.  

Along the way we have provided him with a photo ID, cell phone, PO Box, bus passes, clothing, groceries, and job search support.  We were also able to arrange for him to receive a much-needed eye exam and glasses.

Less than 2 months later, “Jeb” is safely sheltered, has a part time job while he continues to work with our staff to secure more gainful employment, and he can SEE! “Jeb” is overwhelmed and sincerely grateful for all of your support and he never misses an opportunity to share his appreciation.

We are only sad that you haven’t been here to personally witness “Jeb’s” transformation – once deflated, desperate, and lost, he is now engaged, optimistic, and once again believes in himself…and he can SEE!
