"You say that you can help folks when they've hit a wall. Well, my husband and I sure have. We are seniors and we were living in the motel until taken by hospice to a COVID-free shelter. That will end in three weeks, and then we don't know what to do. I just want to have a home before I die. If there is anything you can do, maybe someone can help us.“ - Carol & Kristian
