|  | | Guest Story: Meet Rachel “Sometimes when it gets really bad, just focus on doing the next right thing.” For Rachel, that mindset has been the key to rebuilding her life. After years of stability, everything unraveled following the end of her marriage—leading to relapse, homelessness, and a struggle to find her footing again. Now, after five months at our Walworth Street Emergency Shelter, she’s back on track with a job, a plan, and hope for the future. Read Rachel’s full story and how she’s reclaiming her life on our blog. |

| Supporting People & Their Pets: Our Partnership with Saratoga County Animal Shelter We know that pets are family, and thanks to the incredible team at the Saratoga County Animal Shelter (SCAS), our clients and their furry companions are getting the support they need. From sharing essentials like towels, blankets, food, puppy pads, and litter to offering low-cost treatments and wellness visits, they’ve provided invaluable help to ensure our clients can care for their pets, even in difficult times. Their generosity has made a world of difference, helping people keep their pets safe, healthy, and by their side. We’re so grateful for this partnership and all they do for our community! |
