The day at Hospitality House was very trying today....

Started the morning with a guest having a major meltdown outside...yelling and screaming at the heavens and imaginary people.
Progressed to going in bathroom and locking herself in there.
Episode continued and paramedics responded.
She denied wanting to hurt herself or anyone else.
De-escalated.
Another guest came to get some food items...hurt her leg and can't dumpster dive for food. We filled up a huge bag for her...
Five showers and clean clothes for some.
Several generous donations dropped off...
Outdoor food pantry filled up...
Blanket box full and ready for those needing warm blankets...
A good hot meal served at lunch...
Thanks to everyone who touches our lives daily as a part of our Village of Support ❤️.
You are so appreciated.
We couldn't do this without you!

Yesterday the front door at Hospitality House opened and a person came into the dining area.

Standing in front of me, he asked "Do you remember me?"

Looking a little closer I did recognize him as a previous guest from several years ago.

Looking very healthy.
Eyes having a sparkle.
Looking at me when he spoke.
Clean clothes.
Fresh haircut.
Clean shaven.
Holding keys.

He was beaming with pride as he said he had been clean for over 2 years, has a good job, has a vehicle, has an apartment.

The next words he said...
"I just wanted to stop and say thank you for what you did for me.
There wasn't another person or agency in this town that would help me. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for this place."

Wow. How humbling for us. You never know the impact you have on someone or their life in many circumstances.

Every person matters.

We work hard to build the relationship and help...to give HOPE.

We can only do this because of YOU, our Village of Support ❤️.
You lift us up and give us the resources to help out guests.
You are appreciated.

So many diverse issues every single day working with the homeless and marginalized.

How do we continue to help our guests when sometimes it really gets heavy?

When we get the call that one of our guests was found deceased under the bridge?

When we hear that one of our Warming Center guests from this past winter committed su***de...

When one of our guests hasn't been here for a couple weeks and no one has seen him...

When the numbers of unsheltered homeless keeps increasing with no housing options...

My necklace says it all...."God's got this..."

He is our strength 💪 day after day...the reason we can provide HOPE giving us YOU- our Village of Support ❤️
Thanks for walking this journey with us.
