Your gift DOUBLES TODAY to help homeless moms and kids because of a special #GiveBig match!
Vine Maple Place has seen a surge in calls from families who are desperate for a safe place to sleep. More moms and kids are finding themselves with nowhere to turn and are sleeping in their cars or the streets.
Your gift of $38 will be DOUBLED to provide TWO nights of safe housing and care. And your gift will be DOUBLED, up to $16,000 thanks to the special #GiveBig match! Please give by midnight May 7th.
Vine Maple Place is a Christian organization that breaks the generational cycle of homelessness by working with single parents and their children. Your gift will provide much-needed care and assistance to keep moms and kids off the streets while they heal and build new skills to leave homelessness forever.
Vine Maple Place serves families headed by single parents (92% are mothers) who are homeless or in imminent danger of becoming homeless. They have very low incomes, are ethnically-diverse, often deal with issues of mental health or domestic violence, and may have low skill and education levels. Seven out of ten individuals have experienced or witnessed domestic violence. Due to toxic stress, many of their children have poor school attendance and performance, high levels of anxiety and insecurity, poor nutrition and health, and an inability to deal with negative emotions.
Providing housing solutions along with rent assistance helps families also participate in counseling, workforce development, and financial budgeting training to achieve self-sufficiency for the long term. The children heal by gaining the tools they need to build coping skills, strengthen interpersonal relationships, develop positive identity, and build self-esteem in order to recover from the toxic stress of domestic violence and homelessness. They are provided counseling, mentoring, tutoring, peer groups, and purposeful activities.
Vine Maple Place serves 540 families and 1,084 children, monthly. This fiscal year 1450 families, 4,450 moms and kids, are projected to receive healing and care to start a new path.
The results are clear: when families gain stability and maximize their skills, they become equipped to never be homeless again. 91% of families successfully maintain their housing one year after exiting the Program.
We are so grateful for the dedicated individuals, community partners, churches, foundations, and businesses that are rescuing families from the trauma of homelessness and changing the future for generations to come.
