From Homelessness to Independence

"I was born and raised in Philadelphia. For a long time, that was my home, but I moved to South Georgia near my family here. I lost everything because of my addiction and drug use. When I became homeless, I refused to live on the streets and came to Brother Charlie’s in May of 2022. After becoming a Christian and being baptized, I got my life together, had a steady job, and moved into subsidized housing. Although the apartment was affordable, I couldn’t afford to pay all my bills and live on my own for very long. So, I moved back into Brother Charlie’s in 20025. The first thing I did at Brother Charlie’s this time around was that I paid my driver’s license reinstatement fees and got my driver’s license back. I’ve had a good job for over a year now and saved my money according to Brother Charlie’s savings plan. This allowed me to purchase a good used car, pay all necessary deposits, and furnish my own place. Today, I’m thrilled to say I am on my own and have moved into an apartment again. This time I’m in a much better position, and I’ve learned a lot. I have continued to attend my addiction support group and church. I go to recovery to save my life and to church to save my soul. My relationships with my relatives, and especially my son, are great! I thank God for everything and Brother Charlie’s for all you have done for me.” – N. B.
