Review for Making A Difference Foundation, Seattle, WA, USA
I would like to share my experience with the Making a Difference Foundation; Homes for Veterans program.
My Family and I were experiencing a period of unstable housing. We did not know what we were going to do, or where we were going to be living. We came across an ad for “Homes for Veterans” during our very desperate efforts to keep our home or find some suitable place to sleep at night. The program accepted us, moved us into a home, and began directing us to organizations to help our situation.
We entered the program unsure of what to expect, and quickly realized that this was going to be a lot of work to do the things we committed to. This program is not a hand out, we were required to make serious changes to how we lived and budget our lifestyle, and the bottom line is accountability. We were helped by the Making a Difference Foundation every step of the way, with advice, planning, budgeting and with basic household needs.
At the end of the program, my family is now in a position to buy our own home, and with the skills we have developed and practiced, we can look forward to keeping it.
This program is not for everyone, it takes a real commitment to change for the better.
I will forever be grateful to the people with the Making a Difference Foundation/ Homes for Veterans for helping my Family change our lives.
