June 4th, 2022 Welcoming

June 4th, 2022 Welcoming - Santa Rosa

On Saturday, June 4th, local nonprofit Welcoming Home will once again fully furnishand equip the apartments of three formerly homeless individuals/families in Sonoma County.

Donations can be dropped off at St. Seraphim of Sarov Cathedral in Santa Rosa, 90 Mountain View Ave. Santa Rosa on Saturday morning, June 4th, between 9:30 and 11:00. Large furniture items will be picked up that morning by professional movers. We only accept items listed below.

We were able to give the individuals a 'starter kit,' including new beds, new sheets and towels, a couple of floor lamps (there is no overhead lighting in parts of the apartments) and some basic kitchen items, all donated by previous donors, to keep them going until we are able to fully furnish and equip their home on June 4th.

Here's a brief introduction to the people we'll all be helping ...

Regina lives in Home 1; the first time she's had her own home in over 10 years. When she divorced her husband, she and her two youngest children lived briefly with her sister. After she needed to leave that home, she had a series of abusive relationships, went in and out of domestic violence shelters, and ended up in a tent in Finley Park. A year-long volunteer opportunity there built her confidence and self-esteem and earned her a reputation of being reliable and dependable. Regina's faith helped her weather adversity to achieve her dream of having a roof over her head. She is very happy to have a small cottage to call home.

Kathy lives in Home 2; she was also referred to us by Catholic Charities of Santa Rosa. Several years ago, Kathy tragically lost her eldest son. Her intense grief resulted in the eventual destruction the relationship with her husband and their three remaining children. It’s been a long, difficult road for Kathy, but she’s worked hard to turn things around. She has been living in a group home run by Catholic Charities and finally found an apartment of her own. She has a job and enjoys arts & crafts in her free time. She’s rebuilding the relationship with her children and recently got to attend the birth of her granddaughter. Kathy is so grateful for this opportunity and is excited for her future.
