Client Success Spotlight: “M’s Story”

(Name changed for privacy)

When M, a single parent living with mobility challenges, came to VAD, she was weeks away from eviction and overwhelmed by paperwork. Our team stepped in to help her apply for AISH, Leisure Access Pass, and a local emergency rent subsidy—all within a few days.

“I didn’t even know where to begin. VAD treated me like a person, not a problem. I finally felt heard.” – M.
Today, M is safely housed, has stable income, and is working toward part-time training in bookkeeping. This is why we do what we do—because everyone deserves support, dignity, and hope.
