STORIES OF HOPE
Women with children are the fastest growing homeless group in our area. Chattanooga Room in the Inn provides housing and services at no charge, giving them the time they need to get back on their feet. Read the success stories of our amazing women.
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

NEWS & UPDATES AT CRITI
What a great time we recently had with our volunteer team from Confluent Medical!
It was exciting to get to know these 8 volunteers who spent time mowing, cutting back brush, cleaning and sprucing up our facility and one of our apartments in our Home Again Program.
We learned more about Confluent Medical and how they are leading the way in innovation for the medical industry. Confluent Medical is headquartered in Scottsdale, AZ and we want to give a BIG thank you to them for their monetary donation as well as the kindness they showed in spending time making a difference in the lives of those we serve.
You made a big impact in our community and we are grateful!!
Hi Casey! Hope all is well with everyone, I love the pictures. From Breanna Gould (Atkins)
Cheri Thomas, the office manager with Coyote Logistics is pictured with Katie Murphy from CRITI. Cheri stopped by last week and dropped off donations from their purse drive, for a program called Dignify a Diva. The purses came filled with items such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, wash cloths, soap, deodorant, gloves, socks and more!
A big thank you goes to Cheri and everyone who contributed to this program to help the women and children we serve!
Awesome!
