Good Morning Mr. James, MS Ruby, Board members and Staff at Large,
I just wanted to extend my sincere gratitude. I came to family hope extremally tired, beat down and almost hopeless. First thing that was restored was my hope to get back up. I was allowed to rest without being complacent . Thank you Mr James and Ms Ruby for always being stern at the same time gentle guides. I had a misconception of how people that live in shelters are perceived and it was just that, a misconception. With this guidance, I was able to refocus on my goals and charge forward. My credit score had declined tremendously due to the debt I had during my transition. Being here, I was able to build my score up to 680 and it continues to raise. I bought a brand new car and got a decent job. There's so much I can say, but it won't be enough to capture how I truly feel. Thank you for protecting me and my children. For giving me sufficient time to build myself up. May the Lord continue to reward you for the great work you do. God bless you all. I will be seeing you around.
Sincerely,
Josephine

Dear Family Hope Center,​
I would like to say that my children and I are very appreciated of all that you did for us. Thanks for letting us stay at the shelter and giving us lot of amazing things like clothes and food and beds. I also would like to say thank you for all the meetings every week I have learned so much that I can help someone in need with the information I was given MS Ruby and Mr. James also was a listening ear whenever I needed to talk about anything that was on my mind they gave me great advice and how to be a better me so I know how to move forward when getting back onto my feet.
I appreciate MS Ruby for giving my son the opportunity to sit in and talk to him whenever he have something on his mind he became very independent while being in here he got his first job and he feels very good to make his own money because my son saw everybody in here working he told MS Ruby he wanted to get a job and she told him to apply for all the jobs in the area and he did he got hired on the spot. It also taught my sons how to be young men by taking care of responsibilities while having to do weekly chores so yes I am very grateful and appreciated some days has its ups and downs but the help was always here to talk to someone.
If I had a problem I had a listening ear with MS Ruby and Mr. James and other staff here and they would help me fix the problem if something i wanted to talk about I can always go into the office to speak to mr James and ms Ruby and i would feel better because I used to be afraid to speak up for myself about how I am feeling but now that I been here it helped me to become a better me to stand up for myself and ask any questions for help and I shall receive. I Thank God for Family Hope Center for giving me and my children a opportunity to come in here to get all the help that I did get to get back on my feet. Family Hope Center has been a big blessing to my children, and I so may god continue to be a blessing to the world god bless you and your family forever and always.
We love you all God Bless.

Dear Patrons of St. Mary Magdalen's Church,
Thank you very much for accommodating my family and I with a place to stay this week. It has been a very tough few years for us. A few years we will probably never forget. Although we are trying to see it as a good learning experience, we look forward to a better future. The members of this church have made this little bump in our road a little easier to manage. Your kind words and generous contributions to our program will not go unforgotten. We look forward to visiting St. Mary's in the future, a stronger, more stable family and we hope to give back to this program the same kindness and generosity it has given to us. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for your time and help and may God bless you all.

Sincerely,
Ed Hewitt, Christy Radico, Bella Hewitt
