Testimonials
"Making quilt bedrolls for the homeless is a way for the group to make peoples' lives better and have a good time doing it."
- Allison Park Quilters (a group of 10 ladies meeting once a week)
"We saw people we connected with. We saw a shining light in them; one guy came close to our hearts. It's amazing how much a person can change just by having a little bit of consistency and a relationship."
- Jessie Smith and Kerry Sutherland, University of Pittsburgh Medical Students
"Encounters with homeless people have taught me that beyond facts and statistics, there's always something valuable that belongs to the individual person, and that's their story. The bottom line is that they have to have access to health care that's nonjudgmental, that's accessible and that is user-friendly."
- Susan O'Toole, CSRN, Ph.D., Clinical Volunteer
"Dr Withers -
Wanted to thank you for all your teaching and insight during my rotation last month. It was a pleasure working with you and the rest of the team - a real education for my soul. Your work is a true inspiration."
- Anne Gephart, Medical Student, University of South Florida, College of Medicine
