How The Center is Helping During the COVID-19 pandemic

"I have been in Foster Care for what seems like forever. In my current home, they are vehemently opposed to my LGBTQ identity. From the safety of my bathroom, I connect with The Center's Youth Services Team - they truly are my lifeline and I know they really care about me."
"I am a mom of a transgender child. During the COVID-19 quarantine, I am willing and working to support my child and The Center has given critical tools and feedback for me and my family so that my child feels supported and embraced. We are taking steps together, which feels so good."
"I am a low-income gay senior. During COVID-19, The Center has given us face masks, nutritious food, and emotional support. They even call me just to check in. I don't feel so alone and I truly don't know what I would do without them."
"I am HIV+ and was running out of medication. I was scared to go on public transportation with COVID-19 out there, and I don't have a car. The Center called my pharmacy and arranged to get my medications delivered to me. It's hard to say how relieved and grateful I am."
"I lost my bed in the shelter and found Safe S.T.A.Y. I could shower and do laundry before I went to my job, which made me feel good. They even had a public health nurse there during COVID-19. The Case Manager helped me get into transitional housing and now I am not afraid that I will end up living on the street."
"I am in San Diego, waiting for my asylum case to get resolved. I got COVID-19 and was afraid to go to the hospital because it might cause problems for me. The Center helped me find a hospital and the courage to go. When I got out, I was under quarantine and they connected me with the Food Program and I am so thankful for the support from my community."
"Life during COVID-19 is so stressful and I recently experienced a panic attack. Honestly the only thing that got me through was the coping skills that I talked about with my Center therapist in a session. Those breathing exercises and muscle relaxation techniques were a life saver."
