Giving and Receiving: Longtime Hands of Hope client finds a home [Appeal-Democrat, Marysville, Calif.]
Dec. 26 When she was homeless, Heidi Langston used to spend all day at Sam Brannan Park in Yuba City and sleep in a car in a Walmart parking lot.
With the help of two local service organizations, Langston, 56, moved into a house in Marysville in August with three roommates.
Langston became homeless in October 2014 after losing the job she’d had for 23 years at a skilled nursing facility. It wasn’t until April 2015 that she heard from a friend of hers at the park about Hands of Hope, which runs two homeless day centers.
