COMMUNITY & SOCIAL SERVICES DONATE ONLINE MCGIVES.COM with my rent and provided essential household items...Because of HRC’s generosity, my children and I were able to start over with dignity, comfort and hope. I am truly thankful to HRC for their support during one of the hardest times in our lives. Their help was not just financial; it gave us hope, stability and the change to move forward. I will always be grateful for the difference they made for my family.” -Samra Ahmad I-HELP Year Founded: 1992 Paid Staff and Volunteers: 9 paid, 250 volunteers Budget: $350,000 (831) 251-8663 ihelpmontereybay.org BIG IDEA: The landlord moved and the affordable room I rented disappeared. The person I cared for died, the property was sold and I lost my home. I developed a disability and can’t work. There are countless reasons people are homeless, and I-HELP shelters them all. I-HELP, or the Interfaith Homeless Emergency Lodging Program, partners with places of worship to provide a warm place to sleep and a nutritious meal every single night for the past 34 years. Donations support this constant effort of this Big Idea, helping people experiencing homelessness fill an urgent need. “It’s hard to be healthy without a home. I lived on the Monterey Peninsula for 11 years, renting from a local dentist. But when the dentist died, the rent was raised beyond my means. I needed a new place to live. My father retired from the military, and started Guiliano’s restaurant in Carmel. I worked my way up in the family business to become a waiter. After my parents sold the restaurant, I worked for other restaurants. Restaurant work is high-pressure and fast-paced. When I developed a medical problem, I could not keep up the pace. Without a steady income I could not afford a new place to live and became homeless. “It is our way of honoring those who have served.” -Terry Glasco, Central Coast Veterans Cemetery Foundation DAY /alz S IS POSSIBLE.* T ALZHEIMER’S ASSOCIATION Monterey County MC Gives Is Here!
