Dental care gave David a chance against cancer
We don’t know what the future holds for David.*
Before he could get his late-stage cancer treated, David’s oncologist told him that his mouth had to be cleared of all infection.
Parita Patel, our Dental Director, did what she could. She conducted an exam and pulled many of his infected teeth. But David needed oral surgery with sedation to safely remove all the damaged teeth.
Housing is health care
Thomas Riddle
Throughout his life, Thomas Riddle was passionate about music and cars. These things brought him happiness. But from the time he was a child, something was missing. It took a heroin habit and homelessness at the age of 50 for him to identify what that was. In his own words, Thomas talks about the importance of love.
“People say, ‘You don’t look homeless.’ I say, ‘What do you think homeless looks like?’ You could look like anything and be homeless.”
Statistics
A clean, dry, secure environment is fundamental to personal hygiene (including wound care and dressing changes), medication storage (refrigeration of insulin, safe storage of needles) and protection from assault and the elements.
It's really hard to talk about...
"We are…No different from our clients. Present, genuine and thoughtful members within our families and communities. Disruptive innovators."
"We…Don’t give up on anybody. Never settle. Create opportunities toward wholeness."
Tonii Gedin
Tonii Gedin is about as constant as they come. When she was in Kindergarten, she wrote down a few things about herself on a sheet of paper—her favorite color, her favorite food and what she wanted to be when she grew up.
