Testimonials

Since arriving at Family Stepping Stones, I can finally provide my son the nutritious meals he should have.

Rent Bank helped with resources and a grant to cover rent, lifting a huge weight. I felt supported without judgment.

Moving to Penny’s Place was the final piece I needed to feel safe, find work, and start the next chapter of my life.

The Elizabeth Fry Society has given me the opportunity to provide a stable and secure environment for my children. As a single mom, I struggle less economically and can provide better quality food for me and my children.

When I first moved in, I was pleasantly surprised to see a gift of household items to get a fresh start. I very much appreciated this help!

A couple of years ago I was pregnant, quite young and about to be homeless. I was not aware of all the programs and help available, Elizabeth Fry gave me a place to call home for my children and I feel safe and welcome. EFry has helped me take the steps to get where I need to be. Thank you!

Since I have been living in Efry housing I have been able to focus on my recovery and I have also secured employment. I am very grateful for my housing and if I had not secured it, I probably would not have had so much success. 

My daughter, who is an only child is able to play with other children in the building. We have a community of parents helping each other out and the kids have friends nearby.

Because of Efry housing, I am able to attend school full-time to achieve a diploma in psychiatric nursing. If I did not live here, I would not be able to afford rent and go to school full-time.
