Winter’s chill lays bare the vulnerability of the women we serve
with a cold that can sink into one’s body, mind and spirit.

Frigid temperatures make the streets all the more perilous for homeless women. And the high costs of staying housed and warm jeopardize the fragile stability of women living in poverty. Many will have to choose between paying rent or eating dinner. Keeping the lights on or buying a holiday gift.

More women are counting on us for their most basic and critical needs.
Can we count on you?

DONATE NOW

Your generosity will help us provide the most important gifts:
support and comfort, hope and love.

It could be a warm coat, hat and gloves given to a guest in our Day Shelter. A hearty meal served to a mother and her children in our Dining Room. New pajamas and a safe, cozy bed made up in our Overnight Shelter for a woman who spent the night before in the bus station. And by providing rental and utility assistance for hundreds of women this winter, we will help them stay housed and healthy, knowing the security and comfort of their own home. Thanks to friends like you, Rosie’s Place gives support and comfort.

Every day, we meet women in crisis, in despair. Struggling to maintain their sobriety, job, housing or their hard-won footing in a new country. With the expert and unwavering support of our Legal, Behavioral Health, Employment and Housing Specialists, we help our guests attain stability and seek opportunity. Rosie’s Place gives hope.

Over this holiday season, poor and homeless women may feel alone, even invisible. But at Rosie’s Place, they will feel the warm embrace of community and a sense of belonging. From celebrations in our Dining Room to holiday gifts and groceries distributed through our Food Pantry, to the comfort of a listening ear and encouraging words, our guests will know they are cared for. Today and tomorrow, Rosie’s Place will give the women who turn to us, all our love.
Thank you for believing in the importance of our mission and the power of compassion.

Heartfelt best wishes for the holiday season,

Leemarie Mosca
President/CEO

When a woman comes to us, alone and afraid, she has exhausted every option she has before she walks through our doors. She often expects that we will be another no in a long string of nos she’s used to hearing. But when she comes to Rosie’s Place, she hears yes.

Yes, we care about you. Yes, we will work to find a solution. Yes, we will help.

This year, thanks to friends like you, Rosie’s Place celebrates 50 years of choosing yes over no, choosing compassion over judgment.

A dynamic and driven woman, Kaceann moved from Jamaica to New York City in search of a better life. For a while that’s exactly what she found, until her plans were derailed when the man she fell in love with abused her. She had to get out. With little more than the clothes on her back, she escaped to Boston. 

With hundreds of miles between her and her abuser, Kaceann was finally free. But this safety came at a high cost. She found herself without a home, and without hope. A stranger in a new city, she had nowhere to turn—until she found Rosie’s Place, and she was truly able to start over again.

Every day, Rosie's Place is a safety net for women who, just like Kaceann, need a second chance.
