The needs vary. Mothers with children who live in motels or subsidized housing. Sickness that stretches the finances to the breaking point. Loneliness that is excrutiating in it's silence. Children who are teenagers and can't find work.
Some people find their way to our door.
We have one young man, Skip, who is 19 years old. He lives between the shelter system and some abandoned buildings in downtown San Jose. He comes by late at night when he is hungry or needs a blanket or one of his street friends needs a bandage. You can trust Pete. He won't hurt you.
