At Stepping Stone Emergency Housing, we believe in the power of second chances, compassionate support, and personal determination. Every resident who walks through our doors has a story—and occasionally, they leave behind a message that reminds us exactly why we do this work.
Recently, we received this heartfelt note from a resident at our Stillwater location:
“Dear Stepping Stone,
Thank you all for the wonderful help! The company and staff are amazing for all the services that are provided for people like myself, who need a helping hand to get back on their feet!
The opportunity is there, it is up to the individual how they take use of the opportunity.
A million thanks to all the staff at Stepping Stone for making my life a bit easier, while I worked hard to accomplish the goals I set!
The program works wonders for anyone who is in need of help and is willing to help themselves to make positive everlasting change in their lives!
Thank you ALL!”
These words reflect the heart of our mission: to be a place of possibility for those ready to build something new. We are deeply grateful for this resident’s courage, honesty, and commitment—and we celebrate their success in reaching stable housing.
We also want to recognize the incredible team at our Stillwater location, especially Rachel and Adele, for their dedication and support in walking alongside this individual on their journey.
At Stepping Stone, we know that homelessness is not the end of a story—it’s a turning point. And with the right support, people are more than capable of changing their lives for good.
To our supporters, staff, volunteers, and community: thank you for helping make these moments possible. 💙
