On one of our regular Wednesday outreaches, we walked to a few of the hidden spots we’ve learned about over time. One of those spots was about 100 feet back in the woods, along the bank of a ditch. When we got back there, we noticed a new tent.
We walked up and met Brandon. We talked with him, prayed for him, and shared what we had to offer. He was very open and willing to get help, but there was one obstacle—he had a dog he was taking care of and didn’t want to leave behind.
That’s when Eric, our program director, made the call: if taking care of the dog was what it took for Brandon to go to treatment, we’d do it. Brandon agreed. We dropped the dog off at the house and took Brandon straight to the rehab facility.
While Brandon was in treatment, **the guys in the program** made sure his dog was well cared for. Brandon finished treatment about a week ago and is now at the house, ready for real change.
While he was in treatment, Brandon shared his story about how we found him. Because of that story, two other solid guys decided to come to the house as well.
