The staff at Unity Care were pretty much just like me, just a couple years older and in college, so I always felt that if they were happy, I could be happy too – I just have to get out of this hump and survive the next hump. Thank you for giving me motivation and keeping me safe when I was a kid, and giving me somewhere to call home.

Pandemic Puts Dent on Home Renovations and Upkeep

Unity Care is seeking to raise $500,000 to pay for renovations, upkeep, and furnishings at its foster youth homes and apartments, which have seen far fewer donations and voluntary repairs during COVID, Chapman says.

“They need TLC,” Chapman says. “So every one of our locations need a home makeover, everywhere these young folks live.”
