Dear fellow Dream Maker,

Thank you for supporting SJCS so generously. Your support makes a life-changing difference.

As you know, vulnerable members of our communities can face a harsh reality when they try to achieve their dreams and goals — from indifference to obstacles. But thanks to you, we are breaking down barriers and helping more people accomplish their dreams.

I’ve worked in human services for decades. I know the many challenges people face, but I also see the progress we’re achieving together by expanding access to person-centered care. Above all, I see the difference you’re making every day.

Here are some examples of your impact.

• It can be difficult finding a home when you’re living with a disability, but, thanks to you, our team is able to work with each person we support to find the ideal living situation for them, with the accessibility they need and in the community of their choice.

• It can be hard finding a job when you have a disability. But, with your help, our employment services team is helping more people find rewarding jobs in which they can find joy and feel purpose.

• It can be dangerous living on the streets, especially during harsh weather. But, through your support, our Emergency Shelter and Oasis program are helping more men, women, and children find safe shelter and leave homelessness behind.

• It can be overwhelming heading into the community without the support you need when you are living with a disability. But with your support, our community day program gives the people you help us support the care and assistance they need to navigate their community safely and help them to gain a feeling of belonging and confidence.

One day at a time, one person at a time, we’re breaking down barriers and bridging gaps so more vulnerable people can live lives of joy and purpose in communities of their choice. That’s your impact. Thanks for continuing to support SJCS in all the ways you do!

Sincerely,

George Liacopoulos

Deputy CEO
