We all know that the pain of addiction, grief, and homelessness runs deeply within this community. We see the symptoms of decades of systems, structures, and neglect that is tearing families apart. We do not have to bring in outsiders to fill the Española Pathways Shelter because it is full with our sons and daughters, nieces and nephews, friends and community members who would otherwise be bereft.
The Española Pathways Shelter is a presence of hope in this community to those who have lost hope. We cannot imagine, nor do we want our community to endure a reality, in which the EPS does not exist to serve and offer hope to those who need it most. The alternative would require us, as a community, to devise solutions without proper resources, expertise, and knowledge. Our community deserves better.
We are honored to lift our voices together in support of the life-changing and sacrificial work of the Española Pathways Shelter. Our faith compels us to be voices for compassion, resiliency, and hope and EPS i welcoming our family members, friends, and community in a way that we wholeheartedly support. They offer safety, shelter, food, and resources for those who need it most. We are honored to serve alongside EPS and commit to continuing our faith lived out through our action.
