Changing Lives One At A Time
"My name is Carrie Taylor. This is my story about how I became homeless with two children and my struggle to get back on top.

In July 2006, I lost my job as a waitress when the business was closed. I desperately tried to find work, but was unsuccessful. In September 2006, my bank account was completely drained. Everything was gone. A friend let my 6-month old daughter and me stay with her. I continued to look for work"... Read Carrie's story

Fundraiser for Tom Geiger Guest House: December 8, 2009
Thank you to the Cincinnati Business and Professional Women for hosting a fundraiser for Tom Geiger Guest House on Tuesday, December 8, 2009. We are so grateful for your generosity to help the women and children staying at the Tom Geiger Guest House.

Tom Geiger Guest House Day Was a Big Success
On Saturday morning October 10, 2009 Tom Geiger Guest House held its first “TGGH Day”. Key supporters – major donors and volunteers – along with our partners and members of the TGGH board were in attendance.

After giving a tour of our main Walnut Hills campus facilities, Executive Director Bob Ehrsam, brought the attendees up-to-date on the current status of TGGH. Board President Father Tom Bokenkotter recognized our 2009 major donors and volunteers by presenting them with a TGGH Day plaque as a token of our appreciation for their support.

The remarks of Ms. Angela Lewis, a former resident of our transitional housing program, were the highlight of the morning. Ms. Lewis, who earlier in the month had been featured in a front page article on domestic violence in the Cincinnati Enquirer, briefly related her personal story and how TGGH had been a very important factor in helping her to stabilize her life so that she could then move on to sustainable permanent housing. She concluded her “success story” by movingly expressing her heartfelt gratitude to Tom Geiger Guest House.
