We visited a young woman with serious, chronic health issues that make it impossible for her to work. She had just moved from a homeless shelter into an apartment near the medical center where she regularly receives treatment. Her only monthly income is a small (under $200) state disability payment and food stamps, and her partner had barely started work as an entry-level pizza cook. They were sleeping on the floor. We gave them a bed, helped with rent and referred them to other charities that can provide free food, clothing and household items. Your financial support made our help possible – thank you! Information, Bob Clifford, 206-718-4158. HOW TO HELP SOMEONE CONTEMPLATING SUICIDE.
