TESTIMONIALS

Client
During the year of 2020 my family and I suffered through homelessness and struggled with food and providing basic necessities for our entire family. When we reached out for help from my son's school,they directed us to Remona Sanders with INellas Restoration Center, and I just want to thank her so much because she really came through with resources and even put our family in a hotel during the winter and holidays. Her and the people she works with gave us hope and reliance and we couldn’t be more grateful for people like her who show so much empathy,understanding and humbleness. Regardless of how little they feel they helped,we are eternally grateful for what was done for us because it showed people actually do care if you speak up. It gave us the confidence to speak out and we learned God will answer through his children. It helped us get back on our feet. We are no longer homeless and that is just the best feeling to be able to say that. We just want to say thank you,thank you,thank you!
Kindness Campaign
Dear INellas Restoration Center,
The Kindness Campaign ignites in people the pure quality of being friendly, generous and considerate by leading with acts of kindness. We envision a future where compassion is at the core of all human interaction.
The COVID-19 pandemic has exponentially increased the number of shelters, tent cities (homeless settlements) and insecure families we serve due to the interruption of businesses and community organizations.
Thank you for donating personal protective equipment (PPE) and hygiene items in addition to providing event support. PPE and hygiene are almost non-existent for many due to the cost. Your donation and support have supported many Englewood families.
Kind Regard,
Christopher Watts, Executive Director
