This year's video features the stories of Tyrone and Robert
(below), who grew up abused and neglected before
finding themselves homeless adults.

The moving personal stories of formerly homeless men and women will be shared May 5 at our annual Shelter from the Storm Breakfast.

The free, one-hour event is set for 8 to 9 a.m. at the DoubleTree Hotel Sacramento at 2001 Point West Way, Sacramento.

The testimonials of current and former Volunteers of America clients will be shared both in person and in our annual video presentation.

"I had a stepfather that was putting a gun to my head, playing Russian roulette – things like that," shares Robert, a former Volunteers of America client, in this year's Shelter from the Storm film. Robert is joined by fellow alum Tyrone, who has an equally powerful story: "Basically I knew when (my mother) loved me and when she didn't – and that's when she didn't have her fix of dope. ... I've seen a lot of things no child should be exposed to."

Both men spun out of control, eventually becoming homeless as their lives became more and more desperate before finding Volunteers of America.
