VIDEO INTERVIEW At the end of the day, Im just a human helping other humans Kristine Moreland shares her story in Highline Heritage Museum interview
Kristine Moreland, the founder of The More We Love, shares her compelling journey of service in an interview with Our Highline Voices, revealing how personal hardship shaped her mission to support individuals facing addiction, homelessness, and domestic violence. At just 20, Moreland encountered her father, a homeless heroin addict, which profoundly impacted her and drove her to take action. Initially, she organized coat drives, but a pivotal conversation with a leader at Seattle's Union Gospel Mission encouraged her to engage more deeply with those she aimed to help. This shift led to the establishment of her nonprofit, which now provides emergency services and housing support while ensuring that survivors are not alone in their darkest moments. Moreland emphasizes the importance of community involvement, stating that every bit of help, whether it be clothing, time, or money, can significantly change lives.
Her dedication is illustrated through her relationship with a homeless veteran named Frank, whose life transformed due to her consistent outreach. Moreland’s unwavering commitment exemplifies the impact of compassion and community, reminding us that showing up for others can lead to profound change. For those inspired by her mission, she invites support, encouraging individuals to reach out and share their skills to help those in need.
