“Lotus House was a big help for me and my child. I never imagined how caring they would be. I never pictured my son and myself living in a shelter, but it turned out to be a great experience. The staff was loving and caring. For the past months it has shown me a better and positive outlook on life. I enjoyed their groups and meetings. Lotus House made me feel safe and comfortable, and most of all, helped me interact with others more often. They helped me build my self esteem and better myself as a person and as a mother. I’m thankful for Lotus House for opening up their doors for me and my child and making us feel at home…”

Lotus House Mom

“I would like to thank the Lotus House for taking the time and giving me a hand in my time of need. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am currently in the process of moving into a stable and cozy home for me and my one-year old daughter. I was a freshman in college going through a really unpleasant situation and thanks to Lotus House, I had a home until I was able to get back on my feet.”

Lotus House Youth and Mom

“I am happy I experimented my struggles here. I am very grateful and overwhelmed to finally be moving into my own apartment, for the first time in my life. I can’t thank you enough, I’ll be writing this letter forever. This has been one of the most amazing moments in my life and I owe it to you. Thank you again!”
