on march 11th 2013 was my 3 year mark of being with the mission in citrus. starting out as a lost person to becoming the person i am today. if it wasn't for the mission and everyone here my family and i would not be together n i know i would not be alive this day. i am now 3 years suicide free and still help those who are in the same position i once was in. i have a family that is not blood but are all sisters and brothers who are here for each other no matter what. yes no one is perfect and we all make mistakes but the mission family does not desert when mistakes are made!!! that's why i truly can say Thank you so much Jim and the mission!!!! i love you all!!!!

I heard about the place from a friend of mine and looked it up on the internet website. When i got here, I was welcomed with open arms. I have only been here 2 1/2 days but it feels like I've been here longer because of the environment and the people are marvelous. It seems like home.
I thought the dog here was vicious when I first saw him, but now I'm going to miss him. His name is Mission.
Jim, the diirector, is like a father figure. In fact, there are several women here who are like mothers: Sheila, Carol, Catherine, Kit-Kat (tell her to lay off the sugar) and Jane. you all will be truly missed.

I am responding in regards to what hillb6 wrote about the Mission, its directors, and the clients that are here. You say that he has taken money from a client and her son and left them stranded there. Well I have news for you, I was the client that DONATED the money out of my VA settlement out of the goodness of my heart for being allowed to stay here for over a year so that I could get the help to get my VA disability. And I was not left stranded here, I chose to stay on and help others since it is my way of saying thank you to Jim and the other directors here who have helped both me and my son. If it wasnt for me and my son coming to the Mission, I wouldnt have a child who has done a complete 360 in his behavior not to mention his grades at school. My son has accomplished something that I never had the chance to do and he has been getting straight As all year long. You have no one to blame for the treatment that you received but yourself. Jim had taken you back numerous times out of the goodness of his heart but like he always says you cant help the ones who dont want the help. Just because you had a bad experience doesnt mean that the rest of us have. As for women going in and out of Jim's office all hours of the night is not true. Dont say things when you dont have the evidence to back your accusations up. The Mission is mine and my son's home since no one else has been there to take us in and help us like Jim has. I am proud to be a client and a FAMILY MEMBER of the Mission Family!!!!!!!!!!!

My name is Marilyn and the Mission In Citrus has been helping me get my VA Disability benefits since I am a US Navy Vet... I have been fighting for the last 12 years to get my benefits and now if it wasnt for the Jim and the Mission In Citrus I wouldnt be moving ahead like I am with it. I am so grateful for him helping me with it all that I would be lost and still fighting for what I rightfully deserve with serving my country. I just want to say thank you to him for everything that he has done for me and my son.

My name is Marilyn Schoefer and I am a single mother to a wonderful 13 year old son. We are currently living at the Mission in Citrus. The Mission has helped the both of us out tremendously. I have just started working at Days Inn here in Crystal River a couple of days ago. If it wasn't for Jim Sleighter and the Mission in Citrus, I would have ended up on the streets of Citrus County. I am also a Navy Veteran. The Mission is helping me get my benefits from the Veteran's Affairs office since no one else would help me get them. All I have to say is the Mission in Citrus has been a very good experience for both me and my son. I wouldn't go anywhere else except for the Mission in Citrus since they help everyone who comes through their gates, whether they be young or old.

This review is written in regard to the hillbilly who posted The Mission's director had a pot problem. First, you are an idiot; second, the director is Jim; third; the lady you referenced does not have a problem. If you are going to make accusations about us, The Mission (which I PROUDLY call my home), make sure you have something to back it up. Jim has been nothing short of a saint when it concerns you. He never had to take you back as many times as he did. You should be thanking him, not trying to smear his good name and the name of the Mission. You were dismissed from here for good reasons, and probably should have been sooner than it was. You were given chance after chance to prove yourself but never took any of them. You have burned every bridge you have crossed. Even the guys in the woods don't want you around, but we all know you can't survive out there anyway. You have no one to blame but yourself.
