Call Her Blessed

Shaquandra and four of her five children pose for a photo at Jessie's Place Shaquandra was working full-time at her Birmingham-area job, often clocking upwards of 10 hours per shift. The idea of needing the help of a shelter was the farthest thing from her mind, but as is so often the case, life took a gradual, but unmistakable turn in the wrong direction. Over a period of six months she consistently saw her hours reduced and was eventually laid off. Despite securing additional work, the single mother of five children struggled to pay the bills, and that struggle culminated with an eviction notice. When Shaquandra lost her home, she also lost virtually all of her belongings. Shaquandra helps her son ride his bike in the play area “People took my stuff when I was put out of my apartment because I didn’t have access to a truck,” she said. She and her family then moved in with a close friend, but when that friend relocated to Auburn, Shaquandra again found herself facing homelessness and that’s when she turned to Jessie’s Place.

Share Your #Love4Prevention This Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is a time where we show love to the people who mean the most to us, but what about those we are struggling to love? Please join us on February 14 and show your#Love4Prevention! This year, donations made for #Love4Prevention will benefit MDC's Recovery Housing Support Fund. This fund was established in 2018 as a result of the Second Annual Recovery Resource Fair. In our community, there is a gap for those wishing to connect to recovery housing following treatment, incarceration, and/or unstable housing. This fund was established to aid these individuals who are not financially capable of paying the initial fee to enter a safe place to further their recovery process. From November 2018 to January 2019, this fund assisted 16 individuals! Currently, this fund is at $0 and MDC has a waiting list to support those seeking help. For this year's campaign, we are asking to raise $4,200 to help 14 individuals  start a new beginning in their journey of recovery!   Transitional living is a major step in preventing relapse and we need your help! It costs $300 to be a sponsor or you can donate whatever you desire. To learn more about the Recovery Housing Support Fund here.  Our mission's success is due largely to the generosity of its donors, donors like you! We hope you will consider donating during our #Love4Prevention campaign. We ensure that every donation will go directly to the service and programs MDC implements in our community.
