Joe Linsky's Story

On April 22nd, members of the community will in solidarity to raise funds to help the continued operation of Friend's Place, a shelter for people experiencing homelessness. Please consider and help sponsor me as we work to help those most in need in our community.

Friend's Place is a housing-focused place that sees individuals from all walks of life that need help transitioning out of homelessness. The scope of people from the community in need is wide, ranging from those who have experienced trauma and lived difficult lives to those that are college educated and facing hard times. These are our neighbors, friends, brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers, grandparents. These are our the people of our community and our families that are the most vulnerable and need help moving forward.  

The work was hard and emotionally challenging at times. I was often asked if I "like" my job, and that is a difficult question to answer. There were many aspects I didn't "like", most of which was seeing the needless pain and trauma folks endured while living on the street. I am passionate about being a part of what can help make those changes in people's lives. I am passionate about Beacon and Friend's Place and the opportunity that it provides, helping those that need the most help in our community.

I know you all have your own causes and beliefs that you are passionate and care about. I ask that you lend a bit of help to keep a vital and necessary resource for those that are the most vulnerable. Please take the time to help give hope and stability to our community. Your gift will do a lot to help make changes in people's lives.
