Caminar Connections: December 2023

‍In this season of gratitude, THANK YOU for all you do!

Because of your support, lives are changed every day! Recently, a former client approached a case manager and happily shared:  

"You work for Caminar? Nearly six years ago, I was deep in my mental health. I was alone. I had nowhere to go. I was homeless. I had nothing. I went to Caminar, and it changed my life! Today, I have everything. Back then, I had nothing.  
Thank you for all you do." 

Donate today to continue to help improve access to Caminar’s life-changing mental health and substance use programs, and your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $100,000 thanks to a generous matching gift offer from the Barbara Ellis Jones Memorial Fund, offered by Barb’s children. 
 
Thank you for your generosity. Together, we create ripples of well-being and positive change in our community.
