As we chatted he brought me up to date on changes in his life.
Although he'd been homeless for years before he came to TLC he now lives in a nice home in an exclusive subdivision. He has his own vehicle. He has a bank account. He has a secured credit card that will turn to unsecured within the year. He has a woman in his life. He’s had the same job for over 18 months, the longest he's worked for a company. He's studying to get his CDL, which will allow him to find a better paying job.
His story is a miracle. When he came to us the first time, years ago, there didn't seem to be much hope. In fact, shortly after I met him, he said he felt like drinking and went back to the streets.
However, he eventually returned to give it one more try. And this last time he worked diligently to change. He sought additional help outside our program for his mental health issues. Even though he struggled at times he did what we expected of him. It took him a few years to turn his life around. And today he's reaping the benefits.
He's an example of why we never give up on anyone. As long as they're trying we're 100% with them.
