Gerald Brower worked 37 years in the Mortgage Banking business, and lived in his childhood home caring for his parents until they died. The 2017 recession cost him both his job and home.
He came to our LSS office. We gave him a bag of food and secured shelter at Calvary Church Westlake Village. We accepted Gerald as family.
He worked as a volunteer, answering the phone and greeting clients with the same compassion he had received. We helped Gerald find permanent housing in Ventura County.
