Alice’s story
A REAL STORY FROM OUR COMMUNITY

A safe place changed everything.

When Alice first connected with Stepping Stones, home did not feel safe. Her mother was using drugs, and there was constant uncertainty about who would be home or if anyone would be home at all. Basic needs were often missing.

After she got out of that home and into stable housing, she experienced something new. She had a mattress, electricity, food, clothing, and safe shelter. She had necessities many of us take for granted, and she had someone checking in to make sure she was okay.

With stability came hope. Alice was able to finish school. She says once she got out she had a reason to wake up, a reason to try harder, and a reason to live.

She believes Stepping Stones and her mentor helped her live, and she feels she might not be here today if people had not kept checking in on her.

There is a place for you here.

You can make stability possible in more than one way.
