The Trish & Ryan Mathews Door of Hope Chest gives homeless moms & children a new start in life! When the moms successfully graduate from a year-long program at The  Salvation Army Door of Hope, the Trish & Ryan Mathews Door of Hope Chest provides them with basics for their new homes, such  as bedding, towels, dishes & cookware.   

Trish & Ryan were homeless when Ryan was a baby, sleeping in their car in a church parking lot. Trish often worked three jobs to support them, but no matter how little they had, they always found a way to help others.  They genuinely care!
