"Some of us do want to be someone in life" Donato.





Donato's journey into homelessness began in 1989. Since moving to Austin in 2009, he has been involved with the Trinity Center community. This year, 2024, marks a turning point in Donato's life—a year filled with newfound hope.


In April, Donato received approval for a temporary place to stay, a small yet significant step towards securing a permanent home. With the invaluable assistance of our Case Manager, Myah, Donato was able to complete the process to move into a tiny, temporary home—a safe place where he could finally reside as he waits for his forever home to materialize.


Donato speaks joyfully about finally having a place to call his own, the day he opened his tiny home for the first time, was one of the rare times Myah had ever seen him smile. It's something most of us take for granted—the simple act of stepping into our homes after a long day, closing the door behind us and feeling safe. For Donato, this basic sense of security is a newfound luxury after 33 years of uncertainty and hardship, and even with the awareness of forthcoming challenges, he maintains hope and is focused on accomplishing his objectives.


Today, Donato is off the streets, filled with optimism for the future. Yet, his journey prompts us to question the system—a system that makes it incredibly challenging for homeless individuals to access stable housing. The lengthy waitlists for shelters reflect a widespread issue that Donato endured for 33 long years—a difficulty shared by countless others living on the streets, struggling to maintain faith in the possibility of finding their own place to call home.


As we stand alongside Donato on his journey, we hold onto hope and optimism for his future and wish that his permanent housing approval arrives much sooner than his temporary place.

So happy to see Donato finally have a safe place to call home! Big respect to him and the Trinity Center team for making this happen. Also, reading this story reminded me of how storytelling connects people—just like in digital marketing dissertation examples where real-life examples make research come alive.

Trinity Center Austin

Being a small organization allows us to offer a personal, familiar touch as we work with our neighbors each day. We have a staff of only six dedicated people, and we rely on people like you who commit to volunteer shifts weekly. We greet each other as neighbors instead of as providers and clients. We treat our neighbors with dignity and respect. In fact, we feel very proud of the manner in which our staff and volunteers “lead by acceptance,” resulting in neighbors who feel acknowledged and understood, have a sense of ownership of Trinity Center, and consider it their community center. Neighbors rely on us when they have nowhere else to go. As one of our neighbors have stated, “Trinity Center is a light in dark times. My spirit feels at peace here, and I feel I am part of the family because of the way you accept me and love me here".
