Donation highlight- We are grateful to support Build Promise, a ministry started by the late Amy Betros of St. Luke’s Mission. Her vision was to create a place for those trying to escape homelessness with mercy and dignity to help emerge from this cycle. Research has shown that the greatest barrier to leaving poverty is access to programs and services.
For many years before Nick passed, our family had a tradition to make donations instead of gifts at Christmas. Our sons each selected a charity and wrote a letter why it was chosen. The last charity Nick selected in 2017 was the city mission. He was living downtown and saw poverty firsthand. After attending the Build Promise ribbon cutting last October, we knew he would absolutely want to help. Nick is now an “Angel of Light” in the Amy’s Angels Gift Society. We can’t think of a better description for him than this. He was pure love and light.
Please take a moment to watch this video describing the mission and check out their website. Imagine being homeless in this life threatening cold. Help is desperately needed 🙏
