For ten years, with the unwavering support of hundreds of donors like you, Louvis Services has been working to end homelessness in New Orleans by creating new homes in the Lower Ninth Ward.
We like to think of the efforts to gather the funds to construct the house as the effort to build the house itself-every small contribution, like a single nail, is critical for a stable, strong structure.

Every house is made of tens of thousands of nails:
-Some are small, like finishing nails;
-Some nails are common, but sturdy;
-Some boost extra-large size and strength for bigger jobs;
But, from the smallest to the sturdiest, every contribution is vital, no matter the size.

When complex problems like homelessness or big solutions like building housing seem too large for any single contribution to have an impact, we remember the strength we can achieve together when we join by the hundreds to hold our little piece of the house together. It will be a symbol of community, built on the strength of a thousand acts of kindness, a testament to the fact that even the smallest contribution, when joined with others, can create something truly remarkable.
