Springs Rescue Mission:

A Month in Review: November 2018

Janine celebrating her graduation from the HOPE Program, symbolizing her journey from homelessness to stable work and housing.

Because of your compassion, November and December have been record-setting months at Springs Rescue Mission. More neighbors than ever have been served a piping hot meal and gone to bed safe from the frigid temperatures. They're also receiving Christian counseling and finding the tools they need to get out of homelessness.Take a look at some of the recent highlights at the Mission below, plus read Joe's success story. Joe was able to find employment and housing because of your support.About 10 years ago, Joe* lost both of his parents. Tragedy struck again a short time later when his wife and son were murdered. After a few years, Joe's health declined to the point of him losing his job. Unable to pay rent, Joe moved in with family for a short time and then landed in transitional housing.Joe had distanced himself physically and emotionally from his oldest daughter but felt the need to reconnect with her. Although he deeply desired to see his daughter, he decided not to contact her until he was in a more stable situation.Joe came to Springs Rescue Mission and took advantage of the resources on campus. Within a few short weeks of being at the Mission, Joe landed a job as a maintenance technician and less than 30 days after that he was able to obtain housing. Joe's primary focus now is to rebuild the deteriorated relationship with his daughter and grandchildren. Please pray for Joe as he continues through the transformation process.*name changed to protect privacy
