For more than 10 years, School on Wheels has been making house calls to the residents of Gabriel’s House. Volunteer Andy is visiting weekly to tutor 10-year-old Ayden. Ayden, his brother, and mother are residents of Gabriel’s House, and Ayden was struggling in school due to autism. School on Wheels has the skilled volunteers to help children like Ayden master a variety of school subjects, while gaining important self-esteem. Ayden’s mom, Michelle, says Ayden eagerly anticipates his tutoring each week. He watches for Andy to arrive! School on Wheels is a non-profit organization, deploying hundreds of volunteers to provide free tutoring and mentoring to children from kindergarten through 12th grade living in shelters, motels, vehicles, group foster homes, and the streets of Southern California. They operate in both Ventura and Los Angeles counties. We are grateful to partner with School on Wheels to see the children of Gabriel’s House thrive and learn!

Grants Administrator Katrina Veronica of the Gene Haas Foundation recently announced a $25,000 grant award to Gabriel’s House. This is a valued partnership that means so much to the residents of Gabriel’s House. The Gene Haas Foundation is investing in the most vulnerable among us—homeless women and children. Established in 1999 by Haas Automation Founder Gene Haas, the Gene Haas Foundation supports the needs of the local community and is one of the best examples of Oxnard businesses giving back. We are deeply grateful for their generosity. 

Leaders from Enterprise Holdings visited Gabriel’s House to encourage our residents on National Women’s Day. They came bearing roses and a delicious dinner for all the women and children. They also donated several sets of twin sheets. We are so grateful for these new friends and hope to build a long-lasting relationship with the caring and compassionate team at Enterprise Holdings! 

If you would like to bring help and encouragement to the women and children of Gabriel’s House, please reach out us at info@gabriels-house.org.

On October 30, we had a wonderful 10th Anniversary Celebration as we recognized the many courageous women and children who have chosen the path to lasting change through the programs we offer at Gabriel’s House. 
Even though the tables and chairs have been put away, we’re still celebrating all that God has done and is doing! We’re still counting the lives changed and the blessings received because of you, our generous donors! We are grateful to God for your faithful support through the years!
