The youth grow up to be the future of the world, and so I think that hindering kids in any way from growing, learning, being their best hurts all of us. Giving kids the best opportunity to succeed, to grow, and learn, and just have fun creates a better world for all of us.”

The first time I met with Wellspring, they were so willing to do whatever I needed. They were like, ‘You need diapers? You need wipes? You need food? You need clothes? You need shelter? You have bills so you need this paid and that paid? Ok!’ They weren’t just saying it; they were doing it. They make sure you’re not going to be homeless again.”
153 service hours were dedicated to helping employees in crisis access emergency shelter, housing retention support, essential resources, stability planning, and domestic violence intervention.
Brooke’s Dedication to Supporting Families
In 2011, Brooke Gibson faced an impossible choice—stay in a job that was harming her mental health and keeping her trapped in poverty or leave to pursue her education full-time and build a future free from constant financial worry. She chose to invest in herself and her children, but as a full-time student raising two young sons, she soon found herself unable to pay rent and facing eviction. With nowhere else to turn, she reached out to Wellspring Family Services.
Stats are good, but stories are even better
When families share their stories of overcoming housing instability then we know our work together is creating lasting change.

For families. For communities. For tomorrow.
For kids who experience homelessness, the impact is lifelong. They’re more likely to suffer from depression, to attempt suicide, to misuse or abuse substances, and to become pregnant as teenagers. And they’re 10 times as likely to become homeless again as adults, which means their own children may also experience the trauma of insecure housing.
So helping just one family find lasting stability has a profound impact that can be felt at home, at school, at work and across communities—not just now, but for generations to come.
