“I learned a lot to become and stay independent and self-sufficient through my stay and the staff at The Julian Center. I am so grateful and absolutely blessed to have been accepted to come to the shelter...Thanks so much to everyone for everything you have done for me and my two sons! We were truly blessed that IMPD referred us to come here for safety and shelter. [I learned I am] stronger than I know and am able to survive with just my little family!”

“The staff was always ready to help and always responded to me anytime…and everything I need for my daughter was given. Honestly, Julian Center is the best center. I really do appreciate everything they have done for me and my girl. I will forever be grateful, and to all my advocates I will always pray for you all for helping me with my green card, protective order, financial savings/match and more.”

“[I] have been through a series of therapeutical assessments and gone through lots of training, and it has shaped me to becoming a better version of myself…I discovered my strength and my hidden potentials to go through and overcome harsh situations in a better way. (I obtained) financial development skills and lessons on having and maintaining good relationships. I completed the program and enjoyed a wonderful service from the staffs.”

"All the time, me and my girls felt at home, specifically at families time like Thanksgiving and Christmas. I was safe and [The Julian Center] will always be the place that I felt safe. The girls were barely speaking English or socializing when they first came and now they are absolutely speaking non-stop and energetic since they started programs here. I attended all of the great programs the shelter provided for residents, and I learned a lot.  Thank you so much, you will always be my Angels and the light that brought me out of the darkness."
