James arrived at Cherry Street Hungry for a Change.  Hungry for Direction.  James didn’t know what his future would hold.  He didn’t know if he could reconcile his wife, was battling substance use issues and wanted to restore his faith in God.  It also happened to be in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic.

With the help of advocates at Cherry Street, James was able to get mental health services from a partner within our building, navigate through the VA system, obtain his birth certificate, social security, ID and driver’s license, attend AA meetings and other group meetings…and most of all, restore his faith in God.  James moved out 1 year after he first came through the doors of Cherry Street… with a purpose and renewed hope.

James has experienced firsthand how God works through friends like you to provide neighbors in need with practical care and a sense of self-worth.  Services that lift people out of a state of need and into a place of self-sufficiency and renewed dignity.
