From Hopeless to Thriving: Telling Abi’s Story with Millionair Club Charity

At Coho Films, we believe that stories of transformation deserve to be told with care, honesty, and beauty. That’s exactly what we aimed to do when Millionair Club Charity invited us to document the incredible journey of Abi, a former client whose life moved from fear and instability on the streets of Seattle to stability, family, and entrepreneurship in upstate New York.

A Story of Resilience, Told with Respect

When Abi first arrived in Seattle, she was living on the streets and, in her own words, “had no hope.” The Millionair Club Charity gave her more than just basic resources—it gave her the dignity of opportunity. She received food, clothing, and, most importantly, a path forward through job placement and support services.

We filmed this case study documentary to honor that journey—from those difficult early moments to the vibrant, empowered life she leads today as a mother, business owner, and community contributor.

Capturing the Full Picture

To tell this story properly, we traveled to upstate New York, where Abi now lives with her family. There, our team captured extensive cinematic b-roll footage, from quiet domestic moments to the dynamic energy of her professional life.

We combined first-person interview content with evocative visuals, ensuring the finished piece reflected both the emotional depth and visual beauty of her transformation. It’s not just a story—it’s a celebration of resilience and the powerful work of Millionair Club Charity.

Partnering With Purpose

Millionair Club Charity has spent over 100 years helping people in need find stability through employment, housing, and wraparound support. Working alongside them to tell a story like Abi’s reminds us that documentary film can be a tool for hope—and a powerful driver of fundraising and mission awareness.
