Ivette* moved from Puerto Rico to Massachusetts in June of 2017 with her partner, who had a job opportunity. In her own words, this is what happened next.

The YWCA provides over 40,000 days and nights of safety and comfort to homeless women and children in times of crisis.

You can give a homeless mom like La Rissa the security of knowing her child has a safe place to stay while she makes the transition to affordable long-term housing.
