RECOVERED HOPE

A Story of Recovered Hope

Brian Photo

Before Brian arrived at City Mission, his life was in turmoil.

“ I was a mess. I had no hope. I was in a really dark place.”

Desperate for a change, Brian made the decision to seek help. In his search for a better life, he met someone who told him about City Mission. Encouraged, Brian decided to give it a try. He arrived at City Mission in August of 2023, ready to begin a new chapter.

Since then, Brian’s life has changed in ways he never imagined.

"I actually have hope for the future, I have real friends now. I have a job, an apartment I can pay for, and I finally feel like I have a real life."

Brian is now working full-time at the Mens Residents Desk, where he finds fulfillment in helping others.

“Even if I can help just one person, it shows me that the system here works. We’ve been able to help people with all kinds of needs. It’s just awesome.”

As Brian looks to the future, he is committed to staying on this positive path. Brian knows that his story wouldn’t be possible without the support of people like you.

“Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Without you, none of this would be possible. Thank you for caring.”

Thank You for investing in Brian and giving him, along with so many others, a chance to rebuild his life!
