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.
We're thankful for YOU!
Trust Tierra: Our clients do
Tierra Bolling connects with our clients in a way that few can.
As a child, Tierra watched both of her parents struggle with substance use, and she knows first-hand what it’s like to experience homelessness. Tierra’s early years taught her that hard times don’t define your future. Change is possible.
"This doesn’t have to be what your life is like,” she reminds her clients.
"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."
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.
I am no more or no different than you
"I’m able to help clients achieve their goals, like getting housed. That is one of the most satisfying parts of my job—seeing my clients’ faces when they pick out apartments and get their keys."
