Anju Kumari

Anju Kumari was in SAMMinistries’ Permanent Supportive Housing program when she told her story in “Anju’s Journey of Hope.” She said SAMMinistries supported her family “with empathy and compassion and with the real resources, not just talking.” The photos, made for SAMMinistries, show her outdoors, on her interview set and with her son and daughter. The children appear with her in the video, which was made for the annual gala and told in her own words, with no narrator.
