    SHARING STORIES: Meet the Ramirez Family

    Their daughter was born three months early. Season of Sharing Fund got them back on their feet. Jaime and Alejandra Ramirez's daughter Maria was born prematurely at 26 weeks and she had to stay in the hospital for over a year. During that time, Jaime's work dried up, the family depleted all of their savings and they worried about how they were going to pay their rent. Their landlord suggested they call 2-1-1. That's how they found out about Season of Sharing Fund, which was able to help with two months rent.  During those two months, Jaime was able to find a new job...and is now a donor to Season of Sharing Fund.  ---- SHARING STORIES is a series of portraits of people in the Bay Area who have received one-time emergency rental assistance from Season of Sharing Fund.

    Ready for Season 02 of SHARING STORIES?

    Over the course of Season 02 of this series, we are going to introduce you to a few of the folks who've recently received one-time support from Season of Sharing Fund. If you want to hear more profiles of help and hope, or if you want to find out how you can help neighbors in crisis, go to SeasonofSharing.org/podcast. Did you know that one in four people in the United States have less than $1000 in savings?What this means is that many of our neighbors are one crisis away — a car accident, a sick pet, a health emergency, you name it — from falling behind and having to choose between rent and necessities like food and medical care.  Thanks to our donors and partner agencies, since 1986, Season of Sharing Fund has been able to provide some peace of mind to more than 190,000 people in the Bay Area when they needed it most. And as food insecurity grows, we provide funding for more than 4 million meals each year in the nine counties of the Bay.  Together, we help our neighbors remain housed, cared for, and nourished  — so they can get back on their feet.

    SHARING STORIES: Meet Jose Guevara

    Season of Sharing Fund gave some peace of mind to Jose Guevara while he focused on his daughter's health.  Jose is the proud papa of five, including Patti, 14, Richard, 13, and Emiliee, 5.  Patti Guevara's pain started two years ago — in her back and her knees. Doctors brushed off her father's concerns, blamed her symptoms on her weight and sent her home with aspirin. Guevara took her to "basically every hospital" in the area. Finally, in July 2022, physicians at Stanford Children's Health found a 4-inch tumor on Patti's spine — and rushed her into surgery. She had Ewing sarcoma, a rare cancer that strikes children and young adults. Jose had to quit his job to care for Patti and his younger kids. Assistance from the Season of Sharing Fund helped Guevara cover rent as he transitioned from working full time to being Patti's full-time caregiver, which he is paid for through California's In-Home Supportive Services Program. ---- SHARING STORIES is a new a series of portraits of people in the Bay Area who have received one-time emergency rental assistance that I working on with the SF Chronicle Season of Sharing Fund.
