Dear Friend,

 

This is a magical time of the year. We wish to share some good news to show how LIHI changes lives:

  • "I am 24 years of age, and I really appreciate the service that the Urban Rest Stop provides. I've been working hard to turn my life around and now that I'm working as a cook, I need this place to shower and do laundry so I can keep my job." -Alde
  • Camille and her family were homeless and victims of domestic violence before moving into LIHI housing and receiving supportive services. Her son is now attending Stanford University on a full scholarship.
  • Lemlem and her two children have lived at LIHI's Meadowbrook Apartments for over 10 years and received services from our case manager. Lemlem just purchased a 3 bedroom house from Habitat for Humanity and will move in this month!
  • Our exemplary staff of case mangers and social workers have moved over 70 homeless men, women and children into safe and affordable housing from Nickelsville, a tent encampment.
  • Frederic and Aude and their five children fled the Congo because of death threats and ended up homeless living in a tent at Nickelsville. Right before Thanksgiving LIHI moved them into permanent housing where they will receive supportive services.
  • Over 300 letters from supporters were sent to the Seattle City Council to restore $200,000 in funding to the Urban Rest Stop when Mayor Murray cut the budget. In 2015 we will open our third Urban Rest Stop in Ballard.

Each year LIHI helps over 13,000 men, women and children with low-income housing and hygiene services at the Urban Rest Stop because of donations from people like you. You Rock! You make our work possible.

 

We thank you for your past donations to LIHI in the past and hope you will donate again this holiday season. Funds will be used for the Urban Rest Stop and for supportive services for homeless families and individuals.  Donate Online or by check made out to "LIHI" and sent to:
