At our Family Shelter, many stories were similar to that of Tyshell and her daughter, Delani, where tension with family members created challenging home environments, causing them to lose their home and support system. As Tyshell says,“It only storms for a short while and eventually, you do get clear skies.” Those clear skies came to her as she regained employment and obtained a housing voucher that allowed her and Delani to transition from The Salvation Army’s shelter to a home of their own.

This is Hope.
