From Crisis to Stability is a podcast hosted by Dr. Eleanore Kue, a physician and community advocate, exploring how individuals, families, and communities move from crisis to stability. Through real stories and reflections on listening, unity, and systems change, this podcast highlights practical pathways to hope, healing, and lasting transformation.
Episode 7: The Power of Collaboration
In Episode 7 of From Crisis to Stability, Dr. Eleanore Kue speaks with Amirika Richardson about why collaboration is essential when helping families overcome crisis. Families often face several connected challenges—including housing, employment, childcare, transportation, finances, and mental health—and no single organization can meet every need alone.
Amirika explains that true collaboration requires organizations to put families first, set aside competition and ego, share resources, and make warm connections instead of simply providing another phone number. She also shares the story of a mother who achieved employment and long-term stability because several community partners worked together to address the barriers she was facing.
The episode reminds churches, nonprofits, businesses, and government agencies that each brings an important piece to the solution. When organizations work in isolation, families are left to carry the gaps. When they work together, they become a bridge that helps families move from crisis to lasting stability.

From Physician to Community Advocate: The Story Behind 100 Families
For over 15 years, Dr. Eleanore Kue served more than 10,000 patients and provided over 50,000 medical visits in her urgent care clinic on the south side of Lansing. But over time, she realized something powerful: medical care alone was not enough.
In this episode, Dr. Kue shares how watching her patients struggle with homelessness, food insecurity, mental illness, and instability revealed a deeper truth — the system was not designed for people in crisis. Referrals and flyers weren’t creating change. Relationships were.
Through a deeply personal patient story and her journey from physician to community connector, she explains how the 100 Families Initiative was born — a grassroots movement built on trust, collaboration, and holistic support.
If you’ve ever wondered why 100 Families focuses on walking alongside families instead of simply referring them, this episode will help you understand the heart behind the work.
Because families don’t need more flyers.
They need people willing to walk with them.

The Power of Relationship
In this February episode of From Crisis to Stability, Dr. Eleanore Kue reflects on the power of relationship as the foundation for real and lasting change.
Working alongside families in crisis has shown that stability does not begin with programs or policies—it begins with trust, presence, and human connection. When families are truly seen, heard, and walked with, transformation becomes possible.
This episode explores how relationships—between families, agencies, churches, and community partners—create the conditions for healing, coordination, and hope. It is a reflection from the field on why no family should have to navigate complex systems alone, and how unity in relationship moves families from crisis to stability.
