Hear from Those Impacted by Your Support

Read the stories of youth who have found hope and stability through Port in the Storm.

I left an abusive relationship and was living in my car for 6 months, then I found St Francis House. I can now show everyone that you might hit rock bottom, but you can climb out with help and encouragement like they gave me.

Kristy, 33 years old

I lost everything when my mom got arrested for selling drugs. I went through the foster system. Thanks to Port in the Storm, I’ve been clean for 6 months and I finally feel safe. I now feel like I’m part of something bigger than myself and my future looks bright.

Zach, 23 years old

I worked for 45 years and due to Covid, lost my job and suddenly was thrown out into nothing. Without the SOS team, I don’t know where I’d be. They gave me rides to and from my Dr appointments and I now have a place; a home.

William, 68 years old
