🌸 Because of your support, stories like Erica’s are possible.
“If I’ve never said thank you, this is my official thank you… You made a difference in my life.”

When Erica came to Good Shepherd Center, she was a young mother of three and a survivor of domestic violence. She was working, going to school, and doing everything she could to build a better life, but safe housing was out of reach.

“It was my saving grace,” she says. “It gave me safety, shelter, food, and resources I didn’t even know existed.”

Then, in 2011, Erica faced emergency brain surgery.

“The staff made sure my kids were okay; fed, in school, loved. That was real love.”

Today, Erica is thriving. She’s remarried, raising her youngest son, and now, she’s an Abuelita.

“I’m an Abuelita now, and it’s beautiful.”

Her children are thriving too. And she credits it all to the support she found when she needed it most.

💛 This Mother’s Day, you can honor a special mom in your life by helping another rebuild hers.
Give by May 5 to ensure she receives your message in time.
