    A Mother's Letter

    This week we have a short, but very special, episode to share with you. One former guest of Family Promise of Spokane sent in a letter and graciously allowed us to share it with you. This letter is just one experience of homelessness, and the journey to being housed. Her story shows that it is possible to break the cycle of homelessness. Thank you to our host Emma Hughes & Joe Ader, our producers Gwyn Griffith & Cheree LaPierre, and a special thank you to our voice actor Emberly Jurgens.

    Finding Home Recorded Live

    Today’s special LIVE bonus episode centers around former Family Promise of Spokane guests. Those who found FPS, went through our program, and are now no longer homeless. They ended the cycle of homelessness for their families. This episode was recorded live so some of the audio is a bit hard to hear. We ask that you still listen because these voices are important to hear. This episode was made possible by the support of our title sponsors, Providence and Wellpoint. Thank you most of all to our panelists, Wulan, Jamie, Musa, and Norm. Also, a disclaimer: homelessness is a complex issue. We don’t claim to explore every part of this intersection, but hope that each conversation brings new clarity to the reality as a whole. Please keep an open, curious mindset as you listen, and seek to learn, just as we are. Hosts Emma Hughes and Joe Ader of ⁠⁠⁠Family Promise of Spokane⁠⁠⁠.
