Homelessness can happen anywhere, to anyone. It can reach every race, gender, age group, and education level. Struggle is a natural part of the human experience that no one can escape. Many of us are fortunate enough to have just enough security, comfort, and love in our lives to help ease the struggles we go through at various stages of life- although, that is not the case for everyone. Without the proper foundation, resources, and community in place- it is quite easy for struggles to compile and bring any individual to a place of desperation, overwhelm, and hopelessness.
At Heart 2 Hart Detroit we make a conscious distinction between an individual’s circumstance and their humanity- and strive to never lose sight of the ability that we have to make an impact. This means that we do not discriminate against individuals based on the circumstances that led them to homelessness. Rather, we recognize that because they are human, they deserve a chance. By providing regular weekly meals and essentials every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday we have the ability to equip them with a chance to move forward to another day, and hopefully- a brighter future.
