Filling the Gap - NFP

"When I first joined Filling the Gap I felt lifted, I felt rescued. And actually, within the first couple days of living here, the first thing that I noticed was I could hear my own thoughts, and feel my own feelings, and that was big, that was huge" - Brooke (Sycamore House Resident) Did you have a moment to hear Brooke's story? Take a moment and hear what a difference safe and dignified housing can make in someone's life, what your partnership makes possible.
