<div>April Showers: Bring Dignity to St. Louis This Spring
</div>

</div>
<div>They say April showers bring May flowers.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For people without housing in St. Louis, a shower means something far more immediate.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It means being clean. It means being seen. It means a shot at starting over—if only for a day.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As spring begins, InExcelsis is launching our April Showers campaign to expand something simple and powerful: access to a hot shower and clean clothes.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A woman stepped into one of our mobile showers for the first time after months of living outside. When she finished, she stood there holding a towel and said quietly: "I feel like a human being again."
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What We're Seeing Every week, we meet people who haven't had a real shower in weeks. Last year, our mobile unit provided 542 showers. What we saw just as clearly: a shower only goes so far if someone has to put the same clothes back on.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So we added something new.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What Your Support Funds Our Mobile Clothing Outreach bus now travels alongside the shower unit, providing:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Fresh socks, underwear, and seasonal clothing
</div>
<div>Help securing IDs and essential documents
</div>
<div>A real chance to show up for a job interview or medical visit with dignity
</div>
<div>What It Takes $25 provides a hot shower and clean clothes for one person. $100 keeps our units running for an afternoon. $250 stocks the clothing bus for a full week.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you've ever stepped out of a shower and felt like a different person, you already understand the impact.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We're 63% of the way to our $4,000 goal. Help us close it out this month—as demand rises and more people need what we provide.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Rain is guaranteed this month.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A shower isn't.
</div>
<div><br />
