Safe house for vulnerable women and children
Donation protected
We are sisters coming together along with our friend and partner Linda--asking for community help for a critical need that affects women and children in crisis.
Living in the Bay Area, we have seen firsthand the rising cost of living that has left more people unable to afford living here. The working poor and homeless among us have increasingly fewer resources available. To be more specific, the shelters here (especially for domestic violence) are usually full.
We decided to be a part of the solution to this community problem. In November of 2022, we opened up Grace Place- a home for vulnerable women and children. We have had many single women and mothers with children come through our doors and stay while they wait for more permanent housing. It's been a privilege to not only provide temporary housing, but also support them emotionally and spiritually.
All donations go to keep Grace Place running.
