$20,000 goal
Our Front Porch provides case management, housing navigation, therapy, and emergency housing to home fire survivors. We pick up after Red Cross provides their crisis support and work with clients for weeks, months, or years. We are a small but mighty team of 3 that manages to accomplish quite a lot - check out what we did in 2022:
So far in 2023, Red Cross has referred 73 clients to us and we are supporting 2 large scale apartment fires. Your donations are so important because home fires effect everyone and few funders support efforts that effect more than one demographic.
This video shows the challenges home fire survivors are faced with during their recovery.
Here's what our clients have to say:
"It's small organizations like you that I love because you actually have what I need and are on the ground doing the work." - Marshall Fire Survivor
"We are so grateful for all of you... we wouldn't be here if it wasn't for all your help and having a place to stay at Our Front Porch." - Home Fire Survivor & OFP Resident
