Folks at the FOCUS Center in Minnesota first met Mariah and her family while they were displaced and living in their van awaiting shelter space, a process which on average takes 3-5 weeks. Volunteers at the Center’s Clothes Closet helped outfit her children with coats, warmer clothes, blankets, and some ready-to-eat food. Thankfully, they were re-housed in Minneapolis shortly after.
