According to Dayspring Center executive director Lori Casson, one of the most difficult aspects of helping homeless families in Indiana is that homelessness itself is not always an easy thing to spot. Families who are struggling and moving from motel to motel, trying to keep a roof over the heads of their loved ones, often feel social stigma and a myriad of external pressures that make it a daunting challenge to pull out of the family crisis.
That's where the Dayspring Center steps in.
On Saturday night at Pirates' Cove mini golf course on Indianapolis' Northside, around 100 people gathered to help raise support and awareness for families dealing with homelessness, and to help fund the Dayspring Center, a nonprofit organization that provides families stricken by homelessness with the tools to help them get back on their feet.
