HSC Client Reunited with Brother in Minnesota

"Charlie" came in to the Brian Garcia Welcome Center looking for assistance. He was homeless for approximately 11 months. Charlie indicated he was unable to find employment and that he had no family in Phoenix. He shared that his girlfriend was currently pregnant with twins. HSC Staff inquired if Charlie had a family member who might be able to help. Staff then called his brother in Minnesota who was more than willing to have Charlie and his girlfriend come live with him. HSC Staff purchased bus tickets, and Charlie and his girlfriend arrived safely in Minnesota. Charlie's plans are to find employment and stability before their children are born. We wish them all a healthy and happy future!

These scenarios take place every day at the Human Services Campus, due to your support. On behalf of all the families, friends, and support networks who are reunited, thank you!
