Our Work Brings Visible Change
Hear What Our Beneficiaries Have To Say
I came to People R Us when I was at my lowest, angry, lost, and convinced no one could help me. What I found was a team that didn’t give up on me, even when I tried to push them away. They taught me how to talk about what I was feeling instead of bottling it all up. I’m in community college now, working part-time, and actually making plans for my future. That wouldn't have happened without them."

When my daughter was struggling with depression and risky behavior, I didn’t know where to turn. People R Us gave her the structure and care she needed—and gave me peace of mind for the first time in years. The staff communicated with me regularly, involved me in her care, and treated us both with real compassion. She came home stronger, more open, and more confident in herself.

My nephew had been bounced around from place to place. By the time he got to People R Us, he was completely shut down. Within weeks, I started seeing the light come back into him. He started smiling again, laughing even. I’ll never forget that. They didn’t just care for him, they cared ABOUT him.

Volunteering with People R Us has been one of the most meaningful parts of my life. I’ve seen firsthand how much love and intention go into everything they do, from therapy sessions to group outings. These kids aren’t treated like cases like in many other institutes, but like people. That makes all the difference.

Our neighborhood has struggled with youth homelessness and instability for years. Since People R Us opened their doors here, we’ve seen real change. They help entire families, entire blocks. The kids they work with come back into the community more grounded, more hopeful, and more connected. It’s the kind of impact you can actually feel.
