Their Story

I moved back to CA three years ago to care for my mom. She went in for...

minor surgery and came out with memory loss due to complications in the surgery. These complications led to early-onset dementia and other medical conditions. I continued to care for her until last November, when she passed away. I myself am dealing with health conditions, including diabetes and chronic pain. Due to my health, it is difficult to find and keep a job but I'm doing the best I can to care for my 12-year-old son and get back on my feet. I just got approved for a lease that starts in July and I have a great support system. Despite the challenges life has thrown my way, I feel very blessed. Currently, my most urgent need is bedroom furniture for my son and eventually for myself. My goal for this year is to be more independent. For fun, I love to read!

These are our neighbors

During this unprecented time, it's never been more important to help them find a safe, stable, supportive place to sleep at night.

We find that when we wrap a social home around someone, they gain the capacity to often find the physical home soon after.

You are invited to join one or many who seek to find a home this year.

The number one question I'm asked, is " Jeff, how do I respond when asked for help on the street? Samaritan is an answer to that question.

This is the first time in seven years people have seen me for who I am, not what I look like or come from.

Thanks to samaritans for checking up on and feeding me… Don’t know how I would have ate or kept warm many nights without you.

Sometimes, you can feel really invisible and it can kind of feel al lot of times like there's no help out there. It was just nice to have people be like "Yea, we really want to help."
