We met Alton living outdoors with his girlfriend Sam in July of 2019. We would see them every week with clothing, food, and medical attention from Dr. Lehmann. They would both be participants in our Hire Ground work program as well and showed great work ethic throughout our workday. We were able to assist them both into housing in November of 2019 just before the snow started to fly in Central NY. Who would have known that a pandemic was about to be unleashed around the globe the following March of 2020, can you say rescued just in time! We have been in constant contact with both of them and we were informed that they are expecting a child (a little girl) in August of this year. This past week we were contacted by a local Cementary that they were in need of a groundsman. We immediately that about Alton, set up the interview and we are excited to say that he was Hired! He started on Friday, May 13th full time making $13 an hour. What a story of redemption, your continued support of our mission makes opportunities like this possible. We have the best Sous Chefs (supporters) anyone can ask for. We will be posting a wish list for baby items as this precious little girl is on the way. Together we are Building Hope and Changing Lives
