Many of our clients walk through our doors with nothing but determination. They’ve survived incarceration, homelessness, and trauma but without an ID, a birth certificate, or even a clean shirt, the path forward is blocked.
You can’t apply for a job without identification. You can’t sign a lease. You can’t enroll in benefits or even prove who you are. And when you’re unhoused, even basic hygiene becomes a barrier to dignity and safety.
That’s why EZRI’s Essential & Basic Needs Fund exists. With just $91, we can provide a hygiene kit, snack pack, birth certificate, and ID replacement. These are tools that restore identity, open doors, and offer hope.
For someone reentering society, these aren’t just supplies. They’re the first steps toward stability, employment, and healing. Your support builds the foundation for second chances, brick by brick.
