What does homelessness look like, and who does it effect? Martha Stone, the executive director of a 96-bed homeless shelter, shares the stories of a few residents of the shelter, and shares how we can all end the cycle of homelessness in our communities. Martha Stone joined the staff of Cross Roads House, a 96 bed homeless shelter, in 2004 as the Development Director and was promoted to Executive Director in 2013. In her role as the development director she oversaw and executed a successful $5 million capital campaign to design and construct a new shelter facility. As the largest shelter in the NH Seacoast region, Cross Roads House provides emergency and transitional shelter and services for individual adults and families. Martha is responsible for overseeing shelter operations, programming, marketing, fundraising, and financial management of the non-profit organization. Martha received her BA in Communications from Boston College. In early 2015, she completed eleven years of service as a school board member for the town of Greenland, NH where she resides with her husband and two children, both of whom are currently away at college. She can be contacted at martha@crossroadshouse.org.

It is just a friendly remind to let me educate myself first. I also like to remind myself stay distance my siblings, who likes to take advantage of me financially. Every one of us has danger to be a homeless, one failure of financial mistake, like overprice condo purchase in the city of Surrey, one mistake in behavior at the job, or any other things related.
I do think that I have to stay calm and stay positive to say no to those people who has history of bully people, and all other kinds of issues.
