Testimonials
“It was a relief that I had a place to go to sleep and eat. It’s very quiet here and very clean. The people working here were very nice – it was welcoming. House of Hope gave me hope, because I felt very hopeless. I could get back on my feet without being on the street. House of Hope was a pivotal point in changing my life. And I would love to help give back because it really helped me get to where I am today.”
“My stay at the House of Hope has truly been a blessing. I felt safe and secure. Staying at the House of Hope gave me the step up I needed to better myself and find steady housing. I just want to say thank you and I will never forget what you have done for me.”
“The House of Hope shelter isn’t just a place to stay if you’re homeless – it’s a home where you are made to feel you’re a part of the family. The guests who stay here make a strong and fast bond and we share our stories as a way to help each other as we go on with our lives.”
“There, tucked into an out of the way community in Virginia is the House of Hope. What’s really noteworthy to me is the freedom I have to make myself at home. This shelter has staff that’s caring and on the ball. They don’t do everything for me, but rather, they give me a great place to kind of call home. This, hands down, is the best homeless shelter I have ever stayed at.”
“I came up from Jacksonville, NC because I had a brother here, we talked and we had everything planned out. Or so I thought, but things changed and I had nowhere to stay. I talked to the House of Hope and they told me to come check in. They fed me, gave me somewhere to lay my head, and pointed me in the right direction to find a job and other resources. I wish that I was a person with a lot of money, then I would help because I had been there too. Thank you all very much and God bless each and every one of you! Not for a hand out, but a hand up.”
“The most important thing when you get down in life is that you meet people that can help you lift back up. That’s where I’m at right now. Don’t know how to do it, how to start – but, House of Hope is a hope for me. This is basically where I’m going to start again.”
