A Room to Rest

Dana
Dear SwipeGood,

Dana used to use jail as a place to rest.  Now she can rest in her room, provided as part of the Off the StreetsSM program thanks your generous donation.  She appreciates the community of women and how they problem solve together.  In her room, Dana can work on her art projects. Art is her hobby and helps her release emotions.

Dana, a survivor of child abuse, started using drugs as a teenager.  At 28, she was on the streets, often forced to solicit herself for a place to stay.  Now at 44, she is safe in her own room, thanks to you.  With this much needed space, she can focus on living sober and building a career.  Her dream is to become a chef and she has applied to a local program to study this trade.  She sees cooking as a form of art.

Thank you so much for providing shelter for Dana as she makes positive life changes.
