Lori’s Story

A former resident of our transitional housing program and current resident of our permanent supportive housing, Lori arrived at Aurora Project in March of 2016.

Since she came to us, Lori has taken other women under her wing and helped them by teaching them social graces and personal hygiene/dress, and serving as a support for the young women new to our program.

In addition to Lori’s mentoring of other women, she volunteers to deliver meals to shut-ins through Mobile Meals. She and a friend deliver meals to approximately 10 people per trip. Not only is she providing a valuable service to the community, but as Lori has expressed, giving back in this capacity made her realize how lucky she is and that others are far worse off than she.

Though Lori is busy with her new job, she still takes time to assist Aurora by providing tours of the house, tending our garden, and sharing her story.

We are extremely proud of Lori as she continues to “pay it forward”.
