Sometimes Critical Needs Fall Through the Cracks

Many organizations offer help, but when your situation doesn't fit their criteria or the details don't align, Peaceful Hugs bridges the gap.

  • Emergency expenses lead to utility shut-off or eviction

  • Job loss leads to housing instability or repossession

  • Limited income makes hunger and food insecurity a daily struggle

  • Lost ID or records prevent job placement and benefit access

  • Missing digital access causes lost benefits and opportunities

  • Unstable housing disrupts kid’s school attendance and health

What Real People Are Saying

  • “I just want to say thank you so much. You explained our situation so clearly—it’s exactly the hardship we’ve faced. Reading it made me emotional, but I am strong and filled with so much gratitude for the opportunity itself. Thank you, Pam, and thank you to Peaceful Hugs. If you need anything else from me, please let me know. I truly appreciate all the resources you've provided with all my heart.”

    — Agnon

  • "I also wanted to give an update on my family’s current situation. I was able to obtain employment, and I’m very grateful that things are starting to turn around. A friend referred me to Harper Hospital in Detroit, and I’ll be working as a front desk receptionist in the cardiovascular clinic. I’m doing everything I can to line things up for success, and I just feel incredibly thankful."

    — Maria

  • "I want to say thanks for all the love and support from Peaceful Hugs. It was so good, but I feel blessed to have both of you play a role in my life and kids' life also. I pray that when I get on my feet, I want to support Peaceful Hugs. God bless you ladies and continue to do the great work out there for people like me and others in need of y'all's help. Love y'all.

  • "This is one example of the many blessings we received this past Saturday as I and over 30 other volunteers went door-to-door to hand out our love, prayer, and gift certificates for groceries to over 269 homes (over 500 people) in a public housing area. It took us about three and a half hours, but everyone that volunteered talked about the blessings they received!"

Thank you for helping to alleviate some of the burden that my family is currently facing. Your kind compassion will have a significant and positive impact on my and my children's well-being."
