Missy and Nick’s Story
People think low of the homeless but all we are is normal everyday people that came up on hard times and any help we can get is so appreciated.

Paul’s story - truck driver to homeless
In my heart I knew as cold as it is that I might not live to see daylight.
One bad circumstance can make anybody homeless.
