North Texas Giving Day is a very important day for us, at MDHA, in our effort to end homelessness. Yesterday we talked about why you should give to MDHA. You may be wondering, though: How much should I give to MDHA on September 20, 2018? Here are some suggestions, based on how much we gave our homeless friends:
$43.75. $43.75 allowed Judith and her dog Simon to move from a tent into their own apartment.
$103.53. $103.53 allowed Jonathan to reconnect his electricity, and avoid a return to homelessness.
$120.75. $120.75 allowed Daniel and Karla to remain housed, Abraham to pursue a job, and Richard to become eligible for a housing voucher. No, not $120.75 each; $120.75 total.
$200. $200 allowed Laura to move from Austin Street Center into her own apartment.
$350. $350 allowed Tom, a military veteran, to move from The Bridge into his own apartment.
$500. $500 allowed Julia, a single mom with three little kids, to move from a motel room into their own apartment.
$600. $600 allowed Pearl and Donna to move from Austin Street Center into their own duplex.
