"We met in a gas station after learning about her from my Chaplain's group. It was September. It was warm. I felt called to meet her and help in some way; our leadership team, too, who sent me in a spirit of compassion and grace. Her van was parked in a shaded area of the parking lot, full of well-behaved kids waiting for our scheduled encounter. What a beautiful family, yet...

...it broke my heart when she confirmed they didn't have a stable home, having no idea where they would sleep the following nights." Dr. Maribel, Chair & Founder (name withheld for privacy)

These are stories you will never see in statistics.

Stories of “invisible” women wrapped in despair, yet fiercely protecting their children.
Women sleeping in their cars tonight.
Mothers praying for one safe place to breathe again, to rebuild, to reconnect with God, and return to the life they once knew—just like yours and mine.

In 2026, soaring rents, evictions, and reduced work hours are pushing more families into crisis than ever before.

This is why our Capital Campaign is so urgent. This is why we are boldly stepping up in faith during our Second Annual Walkathon, STEP UP FOR SHELTER, March 14–31, to secure the real estate that will become The Phileo House, whether through the purchase of a property or the building of a home. We trust the Lord to open the right door in His perfect timing.

Our goal: $20,000 in capital funds ( $5,000 of that through sponsorships) to answer God’s call to "Shelter. Guide. Empower" women and their children.
This is more than a roof. It is a Christ-centered path to restoration, dignity, and independence.

How will you partner with us?

Prayerfully consider your partnership.
You can GIVE, WALK, or become a CORPORATE SPONSOR.
No gift is too small. Jesus fed thousands with just a few loaves and fish—and they were all satisfied (Matthew 15:37).

Together, we believe God will do it again. 💚

God bless you,

The Phileo House Team
