How did you hear about our organization?

My son, Brad Finegood, was on the Board of Directors of Second Step Housing.

What made you decide to engage?

When Brad was on the Board, a house was donated to Second Step Housing. In honor of Brad’s work on the Board, it was suggested that the house be named after Brad. Brad was very honored, but asked if the house could be named after his brother (my son), Gregg, who had died of an accidental drug overdose several years before at age 26. Gregg’s Place is a welcoming home to those in need.

Do you know someone who is personally affected by our mission and services?

I do not. However, me and my 5 siblings have always been blessed enough to have family members take us into their homes, when as children, our addict mother would disappear for a while, and we would be evicted from our house. Maybe that is one of the reasons I so admire the work that Second Step Housing does. There but for the grace of God go us!

Why do you continue to support our organization?

Not only do I passionately believe in the mission of Second Step Housing, I admire the excellent way that the organization is run. I know that every dollar that is donated will be spent wisely.

What’s your favorite thing about our organization?

Second Step Housing offers hope to those in their most difficult time and is changing and saving lives every single day!

What’s one thing you wish others knew about our organization?

Second Step Housing doesn’t only provide housing and other critical services to those who are in need, they SAVE LIVES!
