Fellow community member and pet lover, Anita, currently lives in her car with her two dogs. Despite her difficult circumstances, Anita makes the best of it, making sure her pets eat well and have a safe place to sleep at night. “I would like to be in a house, but I make the best of it…one of the hardest things is finding a safe place to park at night.”

Through Foothill Unity Center, Anita can provide herself and her pets with food and resources at no cost. She states how they go above and beyond,” One thing that really touched my heart, is that I don’t eat eggs, and they warm up a special breakfast for me without eggs, and it blows my mind that they remember. They all know my name, and I’m like ‘How do you know my name!’ I thought that was really cool.”

Despite everything Anita faces, she remains hopeful and positive. She shares, “Foothill Unity Center is very helpful and it’s a good place to come. I’m thankful to be among other homeless people and the center’s compassion is really outstanding and I really appreciate them. I really do.” Anita hopes to have a safe place to call home for herself and her two dogs.
