Today Kat and I were on special assignment looking for two friends that were no longer staying at their usual homeless encampment. We heard they were run out because of an altercation with another homeless individual. Living outdoors with others can be challenging especially when there is drug addiction and mental health concerns with others. For their safety they made a decision to relocate which for outreach workers can be challenging because now we have to find them all over again. Kat and I drove all around town looking for them and just when we were about to call it a day we found them. We were able to love them listen to the story of what happened and encourage them to do housing paperwork, they AGREED. They jumped in the Van for the intake were we were able to share our story with them of why we do this and how much we cared for them. It was a very touching emotional time with tears of sadness and joy flowing. Next step getting connected to Onondaga County Social Services for food stamps and Temporary assistance. They both shared a true willingness to deal with their challenges and we let them know we would be with them through the whole process. Its all about Relationship Building were TRUST can be established. They keep saying to us your awesome, amazing and they couldn’t believe we would do this for them. I told them both about ALL of YOU who support our Mission and that we ALL believe in them. Thank you so much for all your support and prayers. Today was a great MIRACLE to be able to find them so quickly.
