Thank you for joining us!
Inspired by 1 Peter 1:7 — “more precious than gold”, our Brighter Than Gold gala raised more than $267,000 to fund The Landing’s trauma-informed services, including our Drop-In Center, Youth Advocacy, and Outreach programs. One of the most moving moments of the night came from Jade, a survivor leader, who shared:
“I still remember the first time I walked through those doors back in 2013. I expected cold walls and judgment. Instead, I found warmth, smiles, and a quiet promise: ‘You are safe here.’ The Landing gave me something I hadn’t felt in years—choice.”
– Jade Sanusi
Your presence and partnership mean the world to us.
Because of you, The Landing can continue walking alongside survivors as they rediscover their worth and rebuild their lives. Your gift is more than a donation—it’s a beacon of hope, healing, and strength.
As we prepare to mark ten years of serving Houston in 2026, we’re honored to have you by our side in this vital work.

“I Am The Tea” – Poem by Dani Stephen
One of the night’s highlights was “I Am The Tea”, a poem written and recited by one of The Landing’s youth clients, Dani Stephen. Dani first connected with The Landing at just 17 years old. After experiencing homelessness and mental health struggles, she credits The Landing’s Youth Advocacy Program as her greatest source of support. As she moves forward in her education, she’s gained opportunities to utilize her experience and work with community organizations. Her mission has always been: “To mirror and magnify the love and support that molded me into today.”
