  • It all started with one call. When @j.mashadow (Jessica Machado) reached out, she shared something incredible: her mother, @angelapimentelmachado (Angela Machado), a philanthropist in the Portuguese community, spearheaded a donation drive of brand-new essential items for women in shelters. And this time, she did it all for Street Haven. Through her women’s group, Circle of Friends / Festa das Amigas, a powerhouse network of more than 150 women in Toronto, Angela mobilized generosity into action. What struck us most wasn’t just the volume of items collected, but the heart behind it. Angela is someone who raises over a million dollars annually for Princess Margaret in her spare time, and yet she still makes space to support Street Haven as well. Meeting Angela and her daughter, Jessica and seeing how philanthropy and community leadership have been passed down from one generation to the next was truly heartwarming. To Angela Machado and the incredible women of Circle of Friends / Festa das Amigas: Thank you. Your generosity will directly support women at Street Haven with dignity, comfort, and care. We are so grateful to you both, and we look forward to continuing this beautiful partnership. 💛 #WomenSupportingWomen #CommunityLeadership #StreetHaven #Gratitude #CircleofFriends #Festadasamigas #PortugeuseCanadians

  • At 57, Diana never imagined she’d find herself in a shelter. After a domestic dispute, she found herself coming to Street Haven. Diana walked through the doors expecting the worst. She’d never been to a shelter before, but what she found was nothing like she had feared. Instead, she discovered a place filled with genuine care, where staff treated her with a kindness she’d never experienced. Now, Diana is looking towards a future with hope. Her goal is to live independently on her own, focusing on her health and connecting with her community. Thanks to Street Haven, Diana knows she has the support to help her achieve her goal.💙 #WomenSupportingWomen #ClientSpotlight #EndHomelessness #StreetHaven #CommunitySuppor
