A housing application fee. A bus pass to work. A bike repair. Sometimes a small expense stands between someone and stability.

Sunshine Community is raising $5,000 through Pathways to Stability to help Grand Valley neighbors, including veterans, secure housing and stay housed. Your gift supports housing costs, transportation, and practical help that prevents everyday barriers from becoming a housing crisis.

☀️ ONE PERSON HELPED MAKE SO MUCH OF THIS POSSIBLE. NOW WE NEED A COMMUNITY.

There is someone behind much of what Sunshine Community has been able to accomplish who deserves to be recognized.

Kelly Milan.

Kelly didn’t simply make a donation.

He provided a house for six months so people experiencing homelessness could have a safe place to stabilize while working toward permanent housing.

He supported Rideshelping us provide hundreds of rides.

And he has provided the financial support that has allowed Sunshine Community to continue operating and serving people.

Because someone was willing to invest, we’ve had the opportunity to show what this kind of grassroots work can accomplish.

🏠 8 people from our transitional housing program are permanently housed.

💼 Our 3 SER volunteers are housed and working.

🌱 We’ve assisted 3 people into treatment.

💻 We have a computer lab and ongoing free skill-building opportunities.

🚗 We’ve provided hundreds of rides.

🚲 Through our partnership with GJ BikeWrights, people are gaining their own transportation.

❤️ People have been connected to healthcare, medications, benefits, peer support, therapists, employment resources and housing.

We are incredibly grateful to Kelly.

But we also have to acknowledge something:

One person cannot—and should not—have to carry a community program alone.

This isn’t sustainable without broader community support.

We’re asking Grand Junction’s individuals, businesses, foundations and community partners to stand beside Kelly and help us continue what he helped make possible.

We’re not asking you simply to fund an organization.

We’re asking you to invest in people.

Invest in the person trying to get to their first day of work.

Invest in the person who needs an ID before they can get housing.

Invest in someone choosing treatment.

Invest in someone learning computer skills.

Invest in the person who once needed help and is now helping the next person.

Kelly showed what one person willing to invest in people can make possible.

Imagine what we could do if an entire community stood beside him. ☀️❤️
