Your help changes lives.
"Juliette" was struggling to survive a domestic-violence situation. We helped her evacuate while her abuser was away, arranged a safe house to escape to, and connected her with legal help.
"Terrence" had been disowned from his family after starting his gender transition. We offered him a temporary place to stay, clothing donations, and a train ticket to Portland, where he was able to make a longer-term arrangement.
Swipe for More success stories...

"Amanda" was abandoned by her support system in rural Pennsylvania after she started transitioning. She faced discrimination, was in debt, and unable to find a survivable wage. We paid for her travel + rental deposit to move to Eugene, arranged an affordable living situation, and helped her find employment here. Now she has a job, friends, and no more debt.
"Morgan" was facing eviction when they landed a new job. A CCPS host gave them and their cat a place to stay while they found a new apartment and made a good first impression at work.
