Welcome to the Community Liaison Sponsorship Program
Dear Friends,
Marginalization and vulnerability grips and halts the “expected life” of those who have a desire and hope to live in normalcy again. It can be started because of challenges such as chronic homelessness, mental health, drugs/alcohol and /or recidivism. Many of these challenges may co-exist with other challenges such as unpreparedness, poor decision making or lack of help.
Hi I am Joanne Washington. I am someone who dealt with chronic homelessness 2009-2017. I was a single mother who lost my job & because I could not find the proper resources in time, I lost our home & vehicle. That sent me into a downward spiral, eventually leading me to live from place to place with a shelter in between. During this time, there was a brief lapse in parenting with me having to send my children to live with my church family until I was able to care for them properly because I was estranged from my family during the journey of homelessness. Unsure how to navigate through the feelings of hopelessness & helplessness, the thought of taking my life seemed to be the only solution to this problem… Today, I present to you a woman who had the faith to believe that life had more to offer not only to me but to my children. The experience I endured was not for me but to help others like me… existing & not living, living from paycheck to paycheck, having support services stop, experiencing gaps in services, & lack in the basic checks and balances. I needed a Community Liaison!
Does this sound like you or similar? The days of trying to figure it out by yourself are gone. We use our lived experiences to inspire & create hope through services and community building...as your Community Liaison.
If you know someone experiencing any of the challenges above and have full time employment ready for change,
give us a call.
The days of people trying to figure it out alone are over. Help is here to show how to:
~Break the chains of marginalization/ vulnerability mindset and behaviors
~To live not just exist
~Build a reserve without depriving oneself
