Hi Bluesky! 🦋 At LOFT, we believe that even the most complex challenges like addiction, poverty, and illness don't have to be barriers to a better life.

#BlueMonday is called the "saddest day of the year," marked by the cold weather, post-holiday slump, and pressures of new year resolutions.
Take a moment to check in on yourself and those around you. If you are feeling blue, reach out for support. You are not alone, your mental health matters. 💙

The holidays are a time to gather, share a meal, and exchange gifts that spark joy. But many relying on LOFT, might not have this chance. For these individuals, LOFT is more than a support system; it’s their home and family.

This year’s theme for #HumanRightsDay is a reminder that human rights are not abstract ideas but are our everyday essentials.
Housing, safety, and respect are not privileges—they are basic human rights. LOFT is committed to creating a world where equal rights are accessible to all. 🤝
