Caring Gifts from the heart helps create stability

Young girl holds her hands in the shape of a heart.

This past year hasn’t been easy for many individuals and families navigating rising costs and uncertainty But even in difficult times, we’ve seen quiet acts of resilience that carry people forward.

Take Melissa, a mother of two who found herself without housing after an unexpected job loss. She arrived at VOA’s Family Shelter anxious and unsure of what came next. With housing and guidance from VOA, she’s working again, her kids are thriving in school, and she’s preparing to move into a place of her own. Her story, while extraordinary, is one of many, and a reminder of what’s possible when support is available at the right moment.

As the season of giving approaches, stories like Melissa’s remind us how powerful your compassion can be. When you give a Caring Gift from the heart, you help ensure that more than 10,000 people each year find safety, support, and the chance to build a better life.
