Shelter residents trying to rebuild their lives

I was a resident of our Lowell shelter for almost two years.

I was very grateful for the services provided by the center, and now reside in a beautiful studio apartment provided for me through the center and the Lowell Housing Authority.

Many of the clients of the center are honest, decent people who, through personal misfortune, are very appreciative to have the shelter available to them as they struggle to rebuild their lives.

Granted, issues do exist, and I feel that through dialogue and cooperation among the neighborhood business owners, residents, staff and clients here at the center, problems can be resolved to everyone's mutual satisfaction.

Please do not shun us. Instead, embrace us.

We do want to be an asset to our neighborhood and community.
