CRITI showed me that I am not just a homeless person, but a human being, and how amazing I am! I know that I can get different results by making different choices. I'm happier than I have ever been.KATHRYN

After a few weeks at CRITI, my mom found a job. Being homeless was really motivating for me. It made me want to push harder, not only for me but for my mom. You know what CRITI does? It gives women hope!CHRISTINA

Without CRITI, I don't know where I would have ended up. CRITI gave me the chance to become a productive member of society. Most importantly, the staff believed in me so that I could believe in myself.TERESA

CRITI helped me establish a nest egg so that an emergency expense won't lead to homelessness again. For the people who support CRITI: You are giving us the will to keep going!CARLA

The scariest part about being homeless was wondering how it will affect my son. The other day he told me 'I don't give up because you never give up.' I never said that to him. He learned that by watching me.MONIQUE

My biggest blessing here was learning to love myself. I found home in me and I didn’t know that before. Sometimes you’ve got to leave everything you know to find out who you areCHRISTINE

When we said we added to our scope of services, we didn’t mean drive through! Tuesday a car crashed into our building and broke the gas line. Everyone was safely evacuated and no one was hurt thank goodness!
We want to give a shout out to the Chattanooga Fire Department for their help with this situation and making sure everyone was safe. They also bordered up the massive hole in our wall to keep our contents safe! If we could hug them all we would!
Oh my goodness. I know that accidents happen, but I’m so sorry you’re having the stress of this added to your plates. Can 2020 take its calamity back already?! Praying for y’all! So glad no one was hurt!
Update! Block is in to replace the plywood. Blessed with caring folks in our community!
I’m glad everyone is safe!
Ohhh. Nooooo!!! Glad everyone is ok.
