Our work is not possible without the support of our partners, sponsors and donors. Together we are able to restore hope, dignity and independence, to those in need, in the Buffalo Niagara region.
What our human services partner agencies are saying:
“I just want to thank you and your volunteers for the amazing work you did for our client this past weekend. I saw the transformation on Facebook and it was truly impressive. That was followed up by our client reaching out to her case manager and letting her know how grateful she was for all of you and all that you did. So thank you all, for all you do!”
Tiffany Pavone, JD - Administrator of Victim Services & Advocacy Programs - Community Services for Every1
“Thank you for your generous gifts to a family of three enrolled in our DV Rapid Rehousing Program from Hispanos Unidos De Buffalo. You went above and beyond of what a donation looks like. It was an amazing experience watching the look on the face of our client. Priceless! You fully furnished the place and made it look like out of a magazine. The attention to detail gives these families hope and assurance that their existence has meaning. This family is in the process of bettering their lifestyle through healing and guidance, and you help make that possible. We are extremely grateful!”
Susan Santiago, Rapid Rehousing Case Manager - Hispanos Unidos De Buffalo
“We see approximately 2,000 new clients every year. This is a public health crisis and housing is one of the biggest barriers when it comes to leaving an abuser. That’s where your beautifully conceived not-for-profit comes in! It’s critical to a survivor’s journey to hope, healing and a safe haven.”
Mary Travers Murphy, Chief Executive Officer - Family Justice Center
