Tokens of Gratitude for a Life Rebuilt

Greetings!

Tonight, you can be the reason someone has a safe place to sleep.

At Keys to Change, the Respiro Shelter Program exists for moments that can’t wait, when someone needs refuge right now. Your generosity makes that possible.

“I couldn’t do it on my own,” Aakhu says. “When people help you, you never forget it.”

Aakhu stayed in Respiro while facing homelessness in 2023 after living in her car.

Today, at 68 years old, she is housed, healing, and creating handmade jewelry.

Grateful for the culturally responsive services she received at Respiro, Aakhu revisits the staff every chance she gets, bearing gifts of handmade jewelry, and surrounding them with the peaceful grace her presence brings.

“I want to take care of the people that take care of the people,” reflects Aakhu.

Respiro provides restorative shelter for individuals who need a pause from survival mode. Because of donors like you:

34,000+ nights of safe, restorative shelter provided last year
617 individuals had a bed indoors when they needed it most
261 people moved from Respiro into permanent housing
106 individuals moved into interim housing or rehabilitation

Your gift today helps keep a Respiro bed ready for someone like Aakhu, ensuring the next person who arrives has the opportunity to take the next step.

Will you help someone sleep safely tonight?
