First, he greeted us with a song. No, not "Mr. Brightside"...it was an old spiritual tune that seemed to pour straight from his soul.
Then, David shared his story - from his days as a collegiate-level runner studying biology and criminal justice, to becoming a business owner and a parent.
Life didn't turn out the way he'd expected, and he's the first to admit that he's made mistakes. Mistakes that cost him his closest relationships...so when he suffered serious injuries from a traffic collision, it was enough to cause him to fall into homelessness.
But David believes in forward momentum. And he kept moving forward.
Today, David is in a safe, stable environment. With that stability, he's in a season of self-reflection - hoping with time to rebuild relationships before memories go completely dark.
With your help, David is one of 1,456 neighbors who moved into housing last year.
