Sam;s Story

Sam is currently experiencing homelessness.

Being here in this position has opened my eyes a lot. I had a rough childhood. Growing up, you don’t really realize how hard it was for your parents - having a child has made me appreciate my mom so much more and admire everything that she tried to do.

When we met Sam, she was cooking a meal for her friends outside.

If I had a home, I’d make everyone come to me. I love hosting dinners and cooking. Food brings people together and let’s us spend time with each other without even realizing.

Inspiration for my holiday card

When I was young, I woke up one Christmas morning and the whole couch was full of presents. I love getting people gifts and wrapping them - the little things make a difference.

My two dogs mean everything to me. Sometimes when everything’s too much, they help ground me and keep me company.
