Welcome to
Up With Women
This site exists to
educate and to inspire.
Here you will find
the stories of some amazing women, living extraordinary
lives, who were also once homeless. Some fled an abusive
home, others found themselves jobless or extremely poor
and couldn't sustain a home for a time.
We share our stories
here to prove that homelessness is not a dead end, and
that success belongs to everybody.
Poverty and misfortune
can happen to anyone. May this site help us all to build
compassion and hope.
Thank you for visiting.

A
real gem: My 9 year

We are now

We have built a North American
foundation fund to bring added support to communities
in the areas of housing, safety and the economic empowerment
of women.
