“It's been a long journey. It's been a hard journey. I knew that I couldn't give up because if I gave up, I wouldn't have a home. I wouldn't have any income. I wouldn't be as safe as I am today. I wouldn't be in recovery.“

Megan Martin, Founding Director of Furnish Hope, shares another inspiring report of how surprisingly easy it can be to help restore lives when we work together as a community and it doesn't have to cost us a dime.

“My journey has been pretty rough. It took a lot of patience and still takes a lot of patience but I felt like it was ‘go time’ for me. There are a lot of roadblocks all of the time, but having my kids by my side makes all the difference for me.”

Our Cycle of Hope would be incomplete without the collaboration and referrals from our agency partners who connect us to individuals and families in need of furnishings and home essentials, like NeighborShare.
