Shelter is the only one in Weld County that provides for all

Being homeless and moving into a shelter is

scary. One high school student is making the

best of some challenges in her life with

gratitude for what she has and a determined

focus on her academic studies and

achievements. We thank her for sharing her

story:

“When I first came to the Guadalupe Shelter, I

thought that coming here was horrible. But

I’ve come to realize that I shouldn’t have

judged this place so quickly. �e Guadalupe

Shelter may not be home, but it is so much

more than that.

�is place is amazing because they make you

feel comfortable. �ey celebrate your birthday

and give you cake, they understand that

everyone has a different story and they try to

help you any way they can. I’m glad that I’ve

had the opportunity to experience such an

amazing place.”

During the scorching hot summer, Sara and

her four children were living in their vehicle

after a job loss and a rent increase. Without a

home they did not have access to showers or

healthy, hot meals. Her children had to

manage hunger pangs and struggled to keep

clean.

“�ere was nothing worse for me as a parent

than seeing my children live out of a vehicle,”

said Sara.

At the Guadalupe Shelter, the family received

the support they needed to begin building a

new future. Nutritious meals, a private room

and bath, and laundry facilities allowed the

family to heal from the trauma of not feeling

safe or having their basic needs met. Sara

received guidance on preparing for job

interviews and soon became

an assistant- manager in

a restaurant. �e

resources and en-

couragement from the

Guadalupe Shelter gave

Sara and her family the

motivation to move from

helplessness to

hopefulness and leave

homelessness behind.

Tom is a military veteran that had a string of

bad luck and no family to speak of for

support. Previously, Tom successfully

completed the transitional housing program

at the Guadalupe Center. A year later, his

father passed away and Tom was left to

mourn and pay for burial expenses with

money he did not have.

He returned to the Guadalupe doorstep,

praying God would give him a second

chance to get back on his feet.

�e Guadalupe Center encouraged Tom to

re-enter the program. �ey encouraged him

to resume his workout routine at the gym

while he continued working. He decided to

keep moving forward and to surround

himself with positive people

and become a positive

person himself. He saved

money and found

affordable housing. He

stated in his exit

interview, “God

provided me the

blessing of the

Guadalupe Center.”

A single father with two young boys was

forced to stay home from work when his

childcare provider left town and he could not

find affordable replacement care. �e lack of

childcare led to the loss of his job. Unable to

pay rent, his family became homeless and

sought shelter at the Guadalupe Center.

�is single dad found himself in a catch-22.

He had skills for more than an entry-level

position, but the next level did not pay

enough to sustain and house his family --

but paid too much to qualify for government

assistance.

He was at a loss and faced barriers at every

step. “�e only place that opened a door for

me and my family

was the

Guadalupe Shelter,”

he said.
