A little over a year ago, I was lost. Every day felt like a fight just to survive. I was on the streets, drowning in a sea of hopelessness, wondering if I would ever find a way out. The depression had taken everything from me, my hope, my belief in myself, and my will to keep going. I didn’t know who I was anymore, or if I even mattered.
Then, in what seemed like the darkest moment of my life, you found me.
I still remember the first time I walked into your shelter. It felt like stepping into a world that was unfamiliar, yet somehow safe. The kindness and warmth you showed me were like a light breaking through a cloud I thought would never lift.
Through therapy, I started to understand myself again. I started to heal, to feel like maybe, just maybe, there was a future for me. The way you cared for me, not just as someone in need, but as a person with worth and potential, was something I never imagined anyone would see in me.
You didn’t just give me the tools to survive, you gave me the tools to live. To believe in my future.
And the opportunities you gave me…whether it was job training, job interviews, or just the encouragement to keep pushing forward…made all the difference. I’ve never felt more confident in myself. I can’t even explain how it feels to have purpose again. I’m working now, something I thought I’d never be able to say, and every day feels like a victory. But the real victory is what you helped me find: myself.

Because of you, I wake up every day with a sense of pride and hope. I don’t feel like I’m just surviving anymore. I’m living. And I’m living for the first time in a long time, not just existing. You helped me rediscover my worth and helped me realize that I do matter. That I deserve to be happy, to thrive, to have a future.
I’ll never be able to thank you enough for everything you’ve done. For seeing me when I couldn’t see myself. For showing me that there is light, even in the darkest places. For giving me the chance to start over and become who I’m supposed to be
Your Support.
Their Second
Chance.
