Yesterday God sent me the most amazing angel I've always been self-sufficient and able to take care of myself but I find myself about to be homeless. No one to turn to and nowhere to go, I decided to call around to see if I could possibly find shelter, something I've never done before and was extremely hesitant but I had no other options. I called the Dock Ellis foundation. I was informed that their nonprofit organization was intended to help battered women of domestic violence. Something I had not very experienced thankfully. I felt like another dead end but before I could get too discouraged the person on the other end of the line began to ask me some information and said although we focus on helping women of domestic violence but we never turn anyone away. Within the next few minutes I found myself being blessed with the help that I couldn't give myself I was sent a form via text to fill out and let her know when I had completed it. Within the next 20 minutes I was told that I was on the waiting list for studio apartment with a kitchen and a bathroom. Immediately tears roll down my face. It was way more than what I could have thought of or dreamed up for myself. I think I was in disbelief and in somewhat of a shock how quickly and easily I was helped and cared upon although my circumstance had nothing to do with domestic violence. It was amazing the feeling of someone caring of someone helping of someone doing going above and beyond what I ever expected. I don't know how soon I'll be able to move in but just knowing that I will have somewhere to go is so comforting and humbling at the same time. I never thought I would be in need of such service and I am thankful for all that they have done for me without knowing anything about me. It genuinely amazes me and I am forever indebted to them for the caring, the love and the support that they gave me without hesitation. I'll never forget hearing The voice say to me "we don't turn anyone away" those words were so powerful it gave me that glimpse of Hope then I had lost. I usually find myself to be a giver but this time I have been given a second chance. we should support one another anyway we can. Kind hearts kind people kind gestures are very rare these days but the blessings that are coming from The dock Ellis foundation just saved my life and I thank you just doesn't seem to be enough. it's nice to know there are places and people who still have and do good for others. God bless
I just have to say I appreciate the dock Ellis foundation! They have bed. From the beginning, reaching out to law enforcement, the news to helping organize searches for our daughter, we are so glad we have them and they were a relief in time of distress. Our daughter is still missing and they are still helping! They are family! Keep up the great work!
The hotline was a Lifeline. They were very helpful and caring. The information and counseling was what I needed at the time. Thanks for the guidance.
