COMPASS FAMILY SERVICES

A branded documentary created for the Compass Gala which helped the organization raise over $500,000 to support homeless families in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Damilla and Anthony came to Compass Family Services after being homeless with their young son. Navigating the shelter system was complicated, tiring and frustrating. Damilla was also pregnant with her second son. They needed rest, time to breathe and find their way as a family. Compass helped by providing shelter, a temporary home, and help in getting their plan in place for moving forward. Five years later, they remain stably housed and look back at their journey.
