We support upper working-class families and individuals through a crisis. We often find that these families are able to sustain themselves for 6 to 8 months, as they live on a combination of savings, credit cards, family assistance, and company heath plans. As their personal resources expend over time, they struggle with where to turn, since they do not qualify for public assistance. That’s where we come in, through word of mouth.

We offer “assistance with dignity” to the working class in need; to get them through their crisis. We assist them with creative ways to make it through, offer emotional support, and network resources of where to find temporary assistance. They do not “live in the system”, so it is difficult for them to find a way through the maze of resources.  We give them “a hand up” to make it through to the other side.

Our success is when you watch them break through their crisis to the other side of living, not merely surviving; but being productive citizens and having their life back so that they can in turn, help others up as they were helped.
