WIN relies on unrestricted gifts to ensure that the homeless women and children we serve receive the highest possible level of care. Private gifts make all the difference in our ability to serve New York’s most vulnerable homeless families and allow WIN to assist these at risk women and children, even in the midst of our nation’s economic recession.

 

By donating to WIN you will help these homeless women become self-reliant and be part of a partnership that endeavors to break the cycle of homelessness one family at a time.

Jessica and her girls

Jasmin's Story

Behind her bright eyes and beautiful smile no one would guess the pain and heartache Jasmin has endured nearly all her life. Her childhood was spent watching her mother spiral out of control due to drug addiction. Though she had contact with her father he was never a stable influence in her life. Jasmin was only 13 when he passed away. The only person she could count on was her maternal grandmother. Sadly, she too passed away.

 

With limited education Jasmin bounced from one minimum wage job to another. She had 2 daughters with a man whose addiction to drugs and alcohol led to violent outbursts. Fearing for her safety, Jasmin took the girls and went to a shelter. Through PATH they found their way to WIN and a new beginning.

 

With the girls thriving in daycare Jasmin has been able to focus on getting a job. She searches the listings available through WIN and hones her computer skills in the lab. The support she has found through the counselors at WIN has boosted her self confidence and hopes for the future. She has found a lifeline through WIN and gives thanks every day for this new lease on life.

 

Your donations provide the high level of care that vulnerable children need and deserve.
