Most of us can't imagine what being homeless is like. Waiting in line on a cold night for the shelter doors to open so you can sleep on a cot. Or figuring out where the safest place to sleep outside might be. One of our alumni thought she was safest when she slept next to a dumpster at a fast food place.
Compound the challenges of life on the streets with physical ailments long neglected. One client went years with a separated shoulder. Another had untreated throat cancer. The majority of individuals who've been homeless a long time in Minnesota struggle with mental illness. Getting through the day for them is overwhelming. Others find drugs or alcohol are the easiest ways to stop the pain. Hopeless? Desperate? Yes. But impossible to solve? Not with adequate resources and compassion.
Cabrini Partnership believes dignity and respect can be restored and lives of hopelessness can be transformed. We've been doing it for 25 years...one individual at a time.
It begins by providing a safe place to live. It continues with support that provides three nutritious meals a day and essential furnishings and household items to make a place to live into a home. There are bus passes to get to support meetings, doctor appointments and the grocery store. Professional staff meet daily, weekly or monthly and are a phone call away to connect clients with community resources, relearn the skills of daily living and encourage them to set simple goals, such as getting up at a regular time each day. Mentors are also there help clients set goals, such as getting a high school equivalency or taking job training to improve job skills.
More than 2,000 individuals have crossed our thresholds to regain hope and dignity and self reliance.
Please help end homelessness. Your donation makes a difference
