You Gave Me A Chance at a Different Life

Anthony arrived at The Path after a short episode of homelessness and a much longer period of drug abuse. “I knew I needed a change in my life. I couldn’t keep living that way,” he shared. “I had been homeless and sleeping outside before. I knew I couldn’t do that again.”

“The people here encouraged me that I could change, too. One guy had been through the same type of addiction I’d been through. A staff member had been a client here–I could relate to him in a lot of ways.”

“I convinced myself that God didn’t want to have anything to do with me, or me with God– because I knew if I paid any attention to what God had to say about life and myself then I’d have to change. I was too afraid of that, so that’s probably why I ignored a lot of signs along the way.”

Today, thanks to caring people like you Anthony has a new outlook on life. “It hit me that the thing that had been missing in my life was a connection with God. I can say with all honesty right now that anything is possible with God in my life!”

“By me coming here I have a very strong chance of living a productive, successful, happy, life. If a person like me can start to change even a little, then I see hope for anyone being able to change their life.”
