\"HAIR<\/p>\n

A few weeks ago, we met George. He’s a middle-aged\u00a0guy who\u00a0still has\u00a0a lot of\u00a0life ahead of him, but who has also had some bad luck. See,\u00a0George is currently homeless and staying at a local\u00a0San Francisco homeless shelter. When he first came into the PHC office, all he wanted was a hygiene kit and someone to talk to. We gave him some soap and clean socks. A week later, George came back in with some news that he had some job ideas and he wanted to start working again, but he needed some help.\u00a0Our Resource Specialists helped him fill out an application for a Lifeline cell phone and signed\u00a0George\u00a0up for our monthly haircut event. Our partners\u00a0at\u00a0St. Anthony\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0were able to help get the clothing he needed\u00a0for his\u00a0interviews.<\/p>\n

Armed with a fresh haircut, a cell phone, and interview clothes, George applied\u00a0for a security guard position in the city. It was a great opportunity for him, but the interview was down in Belmont and George\u00a0didn’t\u00a0have the money to\u00a0pay for transportation. Worried that he’d have to miss his interview, he\u00a0came back to PHC last week and we helped him pay for\u00a0a $10 Clipper card to cover his Caltrain fare to and from the interview.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, George called our Resource Specialists to share some great news: He got the job! He will start work next week, working full time and above minimum wage. George also shared his gratitude for the support that PHC provided.\u00a0It is truly amazing how we can support each other, even when times are tough. PHC gave George\u00a0words of encouragement\u00a0and\u00a0some resources, which gave him what he needed to get back on his feet with hope and confidence.<\/p>\n

With your help this is what PHC\u00a0is able to do\u00a0on a daily basis and at our events. The hygiene kit that we first gave George was possible because of your donations. What you give to the PHC community,\u00a0whether it be financial, in-kind or through volunteer hours, helps people like George every day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
