On November 4th more than 1,000 children, teens and adults will spend the night sleeping outside in tents, boxes, or cars or doubled up inside their homes without a bed to call their own, all to raise awareness about family homelessness and funds for Bridge Communities' Transitional Housing Program.
Your help is needed now more than ever. With your help, Bridge Communities will transition over 100 families to self-sufficiency by working with community partners to provide mentoring, housing, and supportive services. Please give to demonstrate your commitment to helping homeless families build a bridge to a brighter future!

A personal message from
Veronica Horton
I recently began working with a mom of three under age 5, she's been living in her car with her kids for four months. While we are in the process of getting her into Bridge Programing I referred her to a shelter which she was able to get into. This coming Tuesday, she will meet Program Partners and very soon after that she will move into her new home. She will have gone from living in her car, working out of her car, and sleeping out of her car to a 2-bedroom apartment. She will have a kitchen set, furniture, beds, and a kitchen table to have meals around with her children.
No longer alone, she will have case management and mentors who come weekly to help her with learning financial skills such as paying off debt, building credit, and saving. They'll care for her and her kids; sharing the challenges and successes she will experience while in program.
Then one day, her two years in program will come. She successfully did all the financial goals and is debt free, has significant savings, improved credit score. She has housing options now. She has self-confidence. She has a hope within her for her future she only ever dreamed of for her family.
This is why I ask for your donation. It is for the families who have lost hope; who are sleeping in their cars, who are couch surfing from house to house with no place to call their own.
Sincerely,
Veronica Horton
