Meet Roberta

"I don’t belong here. I’m not supposed to be homeless.

My name is Roberta and two years ago I never would have imagined I would become homeless.

I had a great job with a good salary, a long-term relationship with the love of my life at the time, and my own home. I lived just like many of you.

But there I was in June 2023 sleeping at Cornerstone Housing for Women’s Emergency Shelter.

You don’t think sleeping at a shelter or on the streets can happen to you. I know I didn’t. But it did happen to me. I slept on the streets then stayed in Cornerstone’s shelter.

I am so grateful for having a place to stay when I was at my lowest. 

I had lost all hope. God needed me to have a wake-up call and I got it.

Last spring you were there for me and, this spring, I hope you can be there for someone else who is at their lowest point. Please consider sending in a special gift or becoming a monthly donor and help provide stability to a woman in the shelter."

Your kindness today will send a powerful message to women on the journey to healing and independence. It says: You are important, you are valuable – and I’m standing with you, no matter what.
