"When illness and unemployment contributed to a change of my
circumstances, I found myself at a loss, terrified and truly
desperate. I couldn't rent a room, pay for my medicines and get
by on what I was receiving from Social Security. I couldn't afford
to pay for storage, so I lost everything I couldn't carry with me.
I found shelter and food at Interfaith Works...and so much more.
I found hope."
- Interfaith Works' Carroll House Men's Shelter Resident
