On this episode of the Gospel Con Carne podcast, Alan sits down with our neighbor and friend, Kim! From losing homes in natural disasters to living out of her car during the pandemic, Kim's journey hasn't been easy—but it's been marked by grit, love and unshakable determination. Originally from western Kansas, Kim made her way to Austin in 2017 after years of navigating life's twists and turns alongside her son, Jordan. In October of 2023, after reaching out to the Charlie Center, Kim and Jordan moved into Community First! Village, where they now live just around the corner from one another. Since then, life has taken a hopeful turn. Jordan works in our Genesis Gardens operation and also receives support from Integral Care, while Kim has found steady ground and a renewed sense of peace within the Village, especially through her involvement in our Art House program. 
 
Known for her quiet strength and deep compassion, Kim believes everyone has a story and that every person deserves dignity. For her, the Village isn't just a place to live—it's a place to heal, grow and be surrounded by a community that truly cares.
