What does it look like to ? For Camillus House client Kendrick Moore, it meant a second chance — a safe, stable home and the opportunity to rebuild his life.

Kendrick, a veteran, faced homelessness and isolation after an injury ended his service with the Marines, a family he thought he’d belong to for life. With support from Camillus House, he found secure housing, accessed essential medical care, and joined our workforce development programs. After completing the Kitchen Cook Employment Training, Kendrick now helps others in the same program while pursuing his passion for culinary arts. His story exemplifies the ripple effect of generosity—how one gift to Camillus House can transform a life, empowering individuals to give back and inspire hope in their community.

This , your gift plants the seed of hope. Together, we’ll nurture it into a future full of possibilities for those facing homelessness.

Life is full of uncertainties, but with a comprehensive estate plan, you can secure your family's future and provide peace of mind. An estate plan ensures your loved ones are cared for according to your wishes, helps navigate potential challenges they may face, and offers valuable tax advantages for your heirs. Most importantly, it reduces the risk of family disputes and misunderstandings during a time of grief, allowing them to focus on healing instead of navigating complex decisions.

This seminar will cover essential topics such as creating a will, understanding probate, and the benefits of leaving a charitable legacy. Guests will receive complimentary lunch and parking, plus free consultations with estate planning professionals.

RSVP by October 20 to secure your spot by emailing [email protected]! For more details, visit camilluslegacy.org and zoomiami.org/planned-giving. Take control of your legacy and protect what matters most.
