Hello! I’m Dani Chen, a native New Yorker who believes that monumental change starts with stretching out a hand for someone in need. In my career, before I transitioned to financial services, I aided the most vulnerable New Yorkers to make everyone feel welcome and treated with dignity and respect. Through outreach at homeless shelters across NYC and the residents at our nursing home, I was able to witness the transformative power of being enveloped in a nonjudgmental community amongst others sharing a diagnosis. Our clients would gather for field trips, groups, art therapy, adult day health programs, or a hot meal in the resident cafeteria. Seeing someone’s world opening up to limitless possibilities upon finding acceptance impacted me. I am excited to see St. Francis developing further upon this model and rolling it out across more residences. https://www.stfrancisfriends.org/blog/spring-2024 monthly 0.5 2024-07-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba99750d8d31357bb41a6d/5b973a13-13c6-45dc-a2a6-a93744056afc/Communal_Living.png St. Francis Friends Blog - It’s Spring at St. Francis Friends of the Poor! How We Got Our Start: In 1980, St. Francis Friends of the Poor was established. Our three founding Friars opened an 80 single-room occupancy (SRO) building with a lobby, kitchen, dedicated space for art, and TV lounge that resembled the place they called home, the St. Francis of Assisi Friary on West 31st Street. Our founders drew on the communal living they had been accustomed to in the Friary and applied it across all three St. Francis Friends facilities. How It Works Today: Over 43 years later, this core living model thrives for our tenants. It fosters a community of neighbors who interact for various weekly activities, daily meals, and assistance with their medications, money, and benefits. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba99750d8d31357bb41a6d/eff30078-4b89-4e7c-afd7-b79a489a27dc/Shiela+SFFP+Friend+%281%29.png St. Francis Friends Blog - It’s Spring at St. Francis Friends of the Poor! “In general, I am here to enrich their lives. I enrich details of their environment, in the residence, in their creative healing, and through experiences in the city, too. To me, it’s about taking that extra piece of their creations and passions to enhance their experiences. For example, they love to sing, so I want to get surround-sound speakers to fill the space with what they love to do. I carry their stories and pass them on; I take pride in that.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba99750d8d31357bb41a6d/df2a8674-52fb-4f12-bef5-87d7c9b92376/Adrienne+Adams.png St. Francis Friends Blog - It’s Spring at St. Francis Friends of the Poor! - Make it stand out Suad and Ivy wearing new prescription glasses thanks to generous grants. https://www.stfrancisfriends.org/blog/st-francis-friends-of-the-poor-linknyc monthly 0.5 2024-02-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba99750d8d31357bb41a6d/1707334877019-HYW4JSQ0V0JILYYEEI0O/SFFP_FYEye_FINAL-04.jpg St. Francis Friends Blog - St. Francis Friends of the Poor Secures LinkNYC Ad Across All Five Boroughs of New York City - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba99750d8d31357bb41a6d/812b63e6-ff11-43be-b151-3a899ff151b5/20240220_115147.jpg St. Francis Friends Blog - St. Francis Friends of the Poor Secures LinkNYC Ad Across All Five Boroughs of New York City - “I am so happy to help spread the word about St. Francis and how much Fr.

This very idea was, and continues to be, the founding principle behind our mission. At St. Francis, we know that speaking openly and constructively about mental health and mental illness creates a safer, more welcoming world for everyone. Too often individuals with mental illness are seen and treated as if they are their disease. Every day we experience firsthand the transformative power that a supportive community and compassionate understanding have on individuals living with mental illness. Since our founding in 1970, we have been committed to ensuring our tenants feel seen and heard just as every human deserves. We acknowledge the often painful experiences of homelessness and mental illness they’ve endured and celebrate the moments of happiness, success, and love. With you, St. Francis Friends of the Poor will continue to be a voice and model for compassionate care and supportive housing. We encourage you to share our commitment to our tenants with your friends and family and support our mission as you are able. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba99750d8d31357bb41a6d/de6ab1a1-ae73-4d55-9a17-250acdcd56db/dr.bonnie.jpg St. Francis Friends Blog - Meet Mental Health With Compassionate Care - Make it stand out Dr. Bonnie, St. Francis resident https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba99750d8d31357bb41a6d/8262edad-b235-4bd5-8ada-bb989ce76d3a/Screen+Shot+2023-06-29+at+11.17.20+AM.png St. Francis Friends Blog - Meet Mental Health With Compassionate Care - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba99750d8d31357bb41a6d/dc301044-ccff-4327-b366-81aea50ad10e/baseball-st.francis.gif St. Francis Friends Blog - Meet Mental Health With Compassionate Care - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba99750d8d31357bb41a6d/df633a3f-9c0e-4201-b788-74a32c009a3c/me-on-the-inside-art.png St. Francis Friends Blog - Meet Mental Health With Compassionate Care - Make it stand out “Me on the Outside”, by Michael R., 2018, Multimedia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba99750d8d31357bb41a6d/8a44d2b4-d5e6-4882-82a4-0533403eaeb2/did-you-know.gif St. Francis Friends Blog - Meet Mental Health With Compassionate Care - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba99750d8d31357bb41a6d/5cfd0967-a6c5-450e-8894-a364a20283ac/bjornqorn.png St. Francis Friends Blog - Meet Mental Health With Compassionate Care - Make it stand out BjornQorn knows the importance of quality movie snacks.
