Your Support gave Joe a fresh start and new Christmas joy

Joe was at the end of his rope when he walked through the doors of DRMM. He had lost everything and had nowhere else to go. No one cared if he lived or died, except maybe his sister. But she suggested he check out DRMM. “I said, ‘A shelter? I thought I was coming to your house.’ But my family would not accept me,” Joe says.

You see, drug addicts burn more bridges than most people cross in a lifetime.

Once he arrived at DRMM, Joe was amazed at how kind and welcoming everyone was. “They took me in, gave me a bed, and helped me think about the steps I needed to take so I wouldn’t be homeless.”

Your gifts gave Joe the courage and tools to begin again.

Joe had no idea how to break the chains of addiction and begin rebuilding his health, his spirit, and his life.

Every fiber of Joe’s being cried out, “Will you help me? Can you help me?”

“I’m 53 years old. I feel like this might be the only chance I have,” Joe says. “I might not get another chance to get it right.”

“My counselor, he sat me down and we made a plan of all the things I had to do to make a difference in my life,” Joe says. “I started, took it step by step, and things actually started getting better for me.”

Joe is a new man . . . with a life worth living!

This Christmas will be very different for Joe and he is so grateful, so thankful for the help he has received from DRMM and friends like you.

“Your donations really helped me. If it weren’t for donors, there would have been no change in my life. That’s what I really believe,” Joe says. “I came with nothing, but I’m going to leave with something.”

“They really take care of you and make you feel like you have a family. Because when you’re an ex-user, the streets will just swallow you whole,” Joe says. “I thank God for this mission. This is a wonderful place . . . miraculous. They saved my life.”

Because you gave, Joe’s holidays will be free of drugs and filled with new joy. Please share a special gift today to help other lost and broken people experience true hope this Christmas.
