Founder’s Story

Sara Beth found herself with four young children and no set place to live for a duration of about 8 months. It was caused by a combination of firm rental contracts and employment plans that did not turn out as expected. Friends and family and a trickle-in-income sustained them for those months. The stress and strain went sky-high when her youngest child developed a life-threatening medical issue . Ronald McDonald house hosted her family during his treatment (shout out thank you!), but the hospital would not discharge him to an unstable situation. A public housing resource was arranged for the entire month after his discharge. At month-end, the income problem was solved such that they moved into a new home. During the 8 months of homelessness, Sara Beth joined a hospitality network that offers accommodation to travelers. She has been a guest and she has had guests in her home for years since. As her children have grown and moved out, she began this Hospitable Harborage Respites ministry as a way to help normal people who find themselves in-between places with no place to lay their head at night.
