ACTS OF KINDNESS

Homeless shelters in Compton are needed because the homeless problem has increasingly become a public concern in our community, particularly for low or no income single women and women with children, the mentally ill, individuals with unemployable skills and individuals facing the (5) year deadline (welfare reform) for county assistance. As community advocates for the homeless, our intention is to help these families to develop and maintain adequate financial stability to meet their current and future needs.

Over the years, we have had numerous helping hands and volunteers help us through our journey. Mr. Michael Kahler an excellent educator and mentor at Vista High Continuation School has volunteered his help to our shelter for several years. He and his students at Vista High Continuation School organized and executed a shelter renovation project for our facility. At the time, we had paint peeling from the structure, the garden and front yard was far from a horticultural success with bare flower beds and dirt patches impersonating a lawn. Mr. Kahler, and his students, turned our ordinary dwelling into house with curb appeal and a place our residents are proud to call home.

Mr. Kahler and his generous and energetic high school students arrived everyday after school to begin the work on our facility and each stayed long after the sun had set. Each student worked hard and as a team from preparation to completion. We are very grateful that Mr. Kahler and his students chose our shelter for renovation and am blessed to have Mr. Kahler and his students in our lives.

Compton Welfare Rights Organization, Inc. provides free housing, food and employment resources for mothers with children whom would otherwise take up residence in our streets.

Many thanks to Mr. Michael Kahler and the students of Vista High Continuation School for your hard work, compassion and humanitarian efforts, to you we are forever thankful!
