Helping Survivors & Restoring Lives

Helping Survivors & Restoring Lives

Weekly update | January 16, 2025

Needs Are Not Going Away

We’ve launched into the new year of 2025, and every day brings something new. Today, a woman came through and immediately burst into tears when she walked in. We learned that she’s a domestic abuse survivor who had just been discharged from the hospital. She was looking for someone to help guide her through her next steps. Our team walked alongside her, helping her get settled into a safe shelter.

This is what we do every day—people are struggling and searching for a way forward, and we’re here to help them.

We’ve also been talking about Ken Davis (pictured above with permission to post). We helped him get into a rehab program, and he is now free from over 30 years of meth addiction. He’s about halfway through the program and doing well. Ken didn’t even know if his mother was still alive. We helped him reconnect with his family, and this past Saturday, he was able to hug his mother for the first time in over 20 years at the rehab center. It was an emotional reunion, beyond words. Ken was incredibly grateful for our help in bringing him back together with his mom, who had been praying for him all these years. It was nothing short of a miracle.

This is all happening through Capital Compassion—a key part of walking with Ken through his transformation and restoration. We can’t wait for you to hear his full story. We’re also helping him transition into permanent housing and continue sharing his journey.

Thank you for being a part of this work. There is a great need, and those needs are not going away. We appreciate your support and care for what we do every week.

HOPE FOR THE SACRAMENTO COMMUNITY

Capital Compassion wants to partner with you to help our neighbors in Sacramento! You are invited to attend an orientation on Tuesday, October 1, at 10am.

Through collaborating with churches and non-profit organizations all over Northern California we are serving our communities by meeting their practical needs at little cost. You can make a huge impact in your neighborhood through passing out goods like diapers, furniture, household items, and more!

Alone we can do so little, but together we can do so much. Come check out our warehouse and begin to dream for your neighbors. The orientation includes a Q&A, walkthrough, and hands on training so the goods can begin to make an impact in your community.
