Sunday afternoon, our Sidewalk Soldiers sister and Peer Support Supervisor, Mandi, passed away 💔
Mandi has been part of our Sidewalk Soldiers team since the opening of Jen’s Haven Drop In center and helped shape our peer support program and staff through her supervision. Mandi was golden ✨
She never believed in giving up on people or writing them off. She believed in removing barriers, advocating, speaking out against injustice, and making sure people knew they mattered. Mandi cared deeply, and she made people feel cared for. She was truly one of a kind.
Thank you, Jesus, for Mandi’s life and for bringing her into our Sidewalk Soldiers family. We may not understand why her time with us was cut short, and we surely wish we could have had her longer, but we find comfort knowing she is now resting and made whole again.
“Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.” — Proverbs 31:31
Mandi gave so much of herself to this community. Her earthly work is over, but her impact will continue to touch lives. Our community is better because she was here. 💜
We will miss you and never forget you, Mandi!
Friends- Please lift up her family, her sweet children, her fiancé, and the many people who loved her.
There is a meal train link in the comments- please consider blessing her family with a meal if you are able to.
