A Former Guest's Story:
I came to Sister José’s in 2013. I never knew the center existed. I became homeless and didn’t know where to go. When I arrived, I met one of the staff and she asked me a lot of questions. Our talks gave me a new way to see things. Sister José’s is really nice because they help you solve problems and focus on your wellbeing and that’s what I needed. It was great.
Jean Is a Hometown Hero!
We were pleased as punch during a recent Arizona Women’s Basketball game that Jean Fedigan, founder/CEO of Sister José’s, was named a Hometown Hero! And, the victory over Texas Southern was a fun night with Wildcat fans. Congratulations to Coach Barnes and the team!
