Leading the Way to Ending Homelessness! (PDF)
July, 2007 –
After her mother
was killed by her father, Donna was bounced from relatives to foster
care to group homes and more. Now, more than 35 years later, she
continues to struggle. Although she earned a certificate in Office
Automation (networking, fixing printers, faxes and copiers) in 2004,
Donna’s life still hasn’t gotten fully on track. She says she prefers
to live on her own instead of in shelters. An RV without electricity or
running water is Donna’s present home. She’s been cutting and splitting
wood in an attempt to earn an income.
United Way of
Greater Battle Creek is joining with several local organizations to help
people like Donna by supporting the Homeless Coalition’s 10 Year Plan to
End Homelessness for Calhoun County.
