2015 was abundant with progress at The Gatehouse, and it wouldn't have been possible without you.
Thank you for loving our women and children well. As we finish filling Neighborhoods 1 & 2, the new year will bring more healing and renewal as families enter Neighborhoods 3 & 4.
It's a big next step -- please consider The Gatehouse in your
year-end giving. You are needed and appreciated. Thank you for your generosity and continued support that gives women and children in crisis a hand up so they can discover new paths for permanent, positive change.
