Without A Safe Haven, I would be homeless and I would not have been reunited with my children. A lot of people would still suffer from substance abuse without A Safe Haven to go to. I would say to the donor bless you, and I would ask you to keep donating to A Safe Haven so we can continue to help people change people. It really is a life-changing experience at A Safe Haven; I know it has been for me and thousands of others. If you are going to donate, A Safe Haven is the perfect place because you will help people like me to get on their feet and succeed.

Someone told me to try something new, that was when I decided to go to A Safe Haven, and that was the best decision of my life. In one month, I had gotten a job, got my kids and I got my apartment. I was overwhelmed but it was awesome!

I completed the customer service (job training) program through A Safe Haven, working in the phone bank. Now I pay my own rent and I am self-sufficient. It is the best feeling in the whole world. For the first time in my life, I am excited about what the future holds.

Jennette, Mother A Safe Haven Alumna

The name alone, A Safe Haven, is welcoming and comforting, but it far exceeded my expectations on what they actually have to offer here. I feel grateful and blessed to be here. I have enrolled in GED. I am learning and getting it and this makes me want to keep going!

A Safe Haven engaged me immediately. What are your needs? How can I help? I don’t know how you can inspire the hopeless and the homeless. But A Safe Haven has found a way to create that in someone when it’s just not there.

Daniel A Safe Haven Alumnus

Staying here at A Safe Haven, it gives me hope. They do everything the can and exhaust all their resources so that you can become successful. So that you won’t have to say, ‘I’m homeless’ again.

Andrew A Safe Haven Alumnus

When I arrived as A Safe Haven and they told me I could stay for two months, that took a big burden off me. Knowing that I could work on me for two months was a blessing to me.

A Safe Haven is an amazing program, but you have to be willing to bow down and humble yourself and let these people help you.

A Safe Haven’s program for vets is awesome, because a lot of us don’t make enough money when we get out of the military, so having this option is a great thing.

I’m thankful for the opportunity to live in A Safe Haven affordable housing because my daughter can live in a safe, stable environment with her family. What got us here was the support we received all the way through.

Marisol A Safe Haven Alumna

The Food Service Professional Institute helped me find a way back into the hospitality industry. It’s hard to get a job when you’ve been to prison twice. Before prison, I’d been in this industry for ten years. It’s my forte. It’s what I knew. A Safe Haven is helping me to strengthen my skills and regain my career.

Carol A Safe Haven Resident

A Safe Haven Landscaping taught me responsibility. Once I got hired it was someone relying on me to be there. The feeling of someone being dependent on you motivates me to be responsible in maintaining my apartment, in doing well at school, in having a good work ethic, and always completing assignments to the best of my capabilities.

Christopher A Safe Haven Alumnus

I always had this thing about fear of success. Classes at A Safe Haven let me know it’s never too late to learn something new. As you get older, you forget things. A Safe Haven reminds you that you are somebody and you can achieve your goals with hard work, studying, and an open mind.

Felicia A Safe Haven Resident

I abused heroin for 36 years. I’ve been arrested 120 times in my life and have been to prison 7. Of course I wanted to change. But I didn’t know how. Without A Safe Haven teaching me how to change, I wouldn’t be standing here right now. For the first time in my life I have a full-time job and I’m living in an apartment by the lake.

Bianca A Safe Haven Alumna

Having the opportunity to be at A Safe Haven – to collect my thoughts, to take a time out, to listen to a level head – has been great. If I were left to my own devices on the outside, who knows if I’d stay sober? I feel like I’m getting a completely fresh start.

Aaron A Safe Haven Resident

A Safe Haven provided me a place to stay where I didn’t have to be embarrassed about being homeless. They cleaned my clothes, gave me 3 meals a day—plus seconds—and provided me with transportation, computer access, and information that helped me find my own place and a job at a telecommunications company.
