Having only a surface understanding of the issue, yet concerned about the instability of children changing schools every year and sometimes even overnight due to homelessness.Their first shelter was called Deborah's' House Which served mothers with school aged children. That was followed by Timothy's house and Jonathan's home. Timothy's house served men and Jonathan's house served those with cognitive difficulties. Each resident taught the founders unique lessons, not the least of which included the impact of their family of origin as part the journey to homelessness.The lessons learned were not exclusively about the nature of homelessness. Being motivated by deep faith, there were spiritual lessons to be learned in these stories. Their hope is the readers will expand their knowledge of the scripture "I was a stranger and you took me in".ver menos
