OUR FOUNDER
SAY HELLO TO ERIN: OUR CARING CREATOR
Erin Schaffer, is a proud Pittsburgh native & advocate for the homeless/ low-income community. She has dedicated her life & career towards supporting people in need. Her passions include; promoting 'blue-collar' workers rights, volunteering with members of the LGBTQ community, advocating for African American equality, & supporting female empowerment.
Having previously been exposed to domestic violence, kidnapping, homelessness, & extreme-poverty herself throughout her teens-20's, Erin understands the struggles of feeling like there is no way out. Using her life's story to create positive change, Erin acts as a beacon of light for others in the Pittsburgh community to inspire/ implement change. Erin strongly believes that the allocation of additional resources & small adjustments within existing government support-structures can be created to provide alternative solutions to assist those seeking resources to improve their own lives.
As a proud single-mother of four beautiful children, Erin understands the challenges of everyday life to feed/cloth a family & is dedicated to creating resources for others to overcome poverty. Erin's focus is on educating the public & shedding a light on the harsh realities of overcoming homelessness/ mental health to support others in creating a better future for themselves.
