“I am sitting in my bedroom … Imagine!
With a front door I can lock with my very own key … Imagine!
My bathroom is mine … Imagine!
A bathtub, a shower, a refrigerator … Imagine!
Just for a moment, imagine your life without these precious things.
Building Futures made it possible. Despite my past. Despite my inability to get them by myself.
No one has ever cared for me that way, except for my mother when I was a child.
One thing is certain, all this happened because of you.
I am doing my best to find words of thanks.”
We want to share with you a 7-minute video about three moms we housed telling their stories about how they transitioned from challenging times of homelessness to being safely and permanently housed through Building Futures’ assistance.

We also have three shorter ones, three reels of about 30 seconds each, found on our YouTube channel and linked here: From Homeless to Housed; Challenging Times Melsha; and Mothers Are Heroes.
