Thank you to everyone who has followed along and supported our spring 2024 Saddle Up Solutions Campaign. We used wild west imagery to talk about our services and client successes as we empower all experiencing homelessness to build futures of self-sufficiency through advocacy, housing, and employment.
You may be familiar with the old western phrase, "This town ain't big enough for the two of us." This saying evokes the idea of two weathered cowboys standing off in a duel. In movies and books we see duels as the accumulation of a heated argument, the result of a seemingly irreconcilable conflict. Facing off like this is not collaborative, utilizes no real conflict resolution tactics, and ends with one-sided solutions.
However, we believe that our community is big enough for us all. Together, we can address systemic barriers to housing and create innovative solutions! Our programs empower lone rangers to rebuild a foundation of stability with individualized case management support, and your donations and advocacy continue to make this work possible.
While we may have fallen short of our goal of fundraising $75,000, we won't stop pushing towards our vision of a community where everyone has housing, stability, and opportunity. If you weren't able to support the campaign but still want to give, you can donate online at www.willisdady.org/donate or via cash/check to 1247 4th Ave SE, Cedar Rapids, IA 52403.
