We provide an opportunity and resources to our fellow Brothers and Sisters to safely leave the streets. We cannot do it alone. We are looking for supporters of this cause in a effort to help people move beyond shelter into permanent housing.

I hope you will join Walkin' In My Shoes in this humanitarian effort to end homelessness in America.
