Dear Tracy,
Think of a holiday song. Any one of them. What does it bring to mind? Perhaps it is a special tradition, sharing a delicious meal, or maybe even a raucous snowball fight. Whatever it is, it’s the sense of togetherness that make this time of year so special.
Our families feel the impact of connection all year, surrounded by peers, volunteers and staff who are invested in their wellbeing.
"I don’t stress about everything anymore because I know if I can’t handle something on my own then I have backup and they know they have me too. Something like that is truly priceless."- Saranam alumni
We also feel this sense of togetherness, this community, with the many hundreds, even thousands, of people who support the work we do alongside our families every year.
-
Our donors and grantors. Whether it is grantors like the Charles C. Anderson Sr. and Marie Jo Anderson Foundation, who have helped us expand our evaluation strategies, or donors like you, who allow us to offer our program at full-capacity year after year, we are so thankful for your belief in ending family homelessness.
-
Everyone who has contributed to bring our ADC Family Campus to life. This build takes the collective effort of so many who believe generational change is possible.
-
Special thanks to building partners Dekker/Perich/Sabatini LTD, Tierra West LLC, and ECOterra Design-Build for their work and vision for this sustainable campus.
-
We are also so grateful to community partners like the Albuquerque West Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, whose donations will create welcoming homes and a rich learning environment for new families.
-
YOU! Every day your words of encouragement sustain and inspire us.
“In my thirty year career, I have never encountered an agency that can verify a success rate of 85% for clients who complete a program and exit to independent living as a contributing member of their community. Saranam does this…” -Saranam supporter
-
Our amazing volunteers. Over 700 people from groups, churches, clubs and more have given 4,000 hours of their time so far in 2023 to make our campus a stable place to grow and dream.
-
Businesses and community partners who make everyday life for our families brighter and easier. Just to name a few…
-
Christian Brothers Automotive, who offer car maintenance assistance for current and alumni families.
-
American Home Furnishings has donated $50,000 worth of mattresses to Saranam since 2012 to ensure everyone has the dignity of a new bed.
-
Assistance League of New Mexico’s phenomenal initiative to offer new shoes to all of the kids in our program.
The togetherness we have in meeting our mission brings to mind a quote by Maya Angelou: “people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” Families will never forget the care they know here. Thank you for bringing that feeling of community to them.
