“The Mission is the difference between night and day. When you come here, it’s like daylight. You can actually see possibilities. And with the staff helping you, you see even more possibilities. That’s where it makes a difference.”

“The Mission has helped me to see things from a different perspective and to know that I’m not alone. Being by myself on the street was hard not having anyone to share my struggles with, so therefore I’m very grateful.”

That’s something I didn’t realize I needed—having support. Community was definitely a thing I developed here. I feel proud of how far I’ve come, and the work I’ve done. There’s a peace here.”
