Review for Interfaith Shelter Network, Inc, Santa Rosa, CA, USA
Before I came to IFSN I found myself to be a single father with two very young children. The three of us were living in a tent in a friends backyard. I was hooked on meth and I saw very little hope for building any kind of future for my little ones. IFSN took us in, made me hold myself accountable for my substance abuse problem, gave me therapy, helped me build my credit, find steady employment and after four months I was able to move my family out of the group home that they provided and into a very beautifal two-bedroom unit that is located in a nicer part of Santa Rosa. I was lost in the wilderness and step by step they helped me blaze a path that lead us back to civilization. IFSN provided so much for us. Housing, food, clothing, hygiene, basic necessities and they even gave me toys so I had some presents to give to my son on his 7th birthday.
Without the good works of the IFSN team I would not have made it in this world. I would have lost my children and most likely have fell victim to the streets in a life of addiction. Today I am steadily employed at a full time job that I stand on my own two feet and I hold my head up high so I can look forward to the future. Perhaps the greatest gift I got frBefore I came to IFSN I found myself to be a single father with two very young children. The three of us were living in a tent in a friends backyard.

Now I am employed full time at a job that I have had since February of 2019 and I stand on my own two feet hold my head up high so I can look forward to the future. Perhaps the greatest gift I got from working with the good people at IFSN is a life filled with hope.
