As our economy declines, more families are becoming homeless. Brandi Hitt, news anchor at CBS13, followed one of the mothers in our program for a day. This is her report.

Help Stamp Out Homelessness.

It's easy. Email 10 friends and ask them to donate a book of stamps today to Women's Empowerment. 

Homeless women in our program will use the stamps to mail job applications, thank you notes, and for other related projects. In this tough economy, help make it easier for a woman to find a job.

Yesterday was a special day. A donor stopped in with a bagful of necessities for the homeless women and children we serve.

A year ago, this particular donor sat on the receiving end of a similar donation, perhaps a gift you made. A year ago, Kathryn was homeless.

Kathryn owned her own business as an interior designer. She put in long hours and creativity to build a business she took pride in. Outside work, her family was her greatest joy. She would regularly sacrifice for their happiness. Yet all was not well.
