i came to the union rescue mission after losing my job and ran out of all my savings, i was a drinker and a casual drug user whom eventually became homeless, in 2003 i came to the mission for a meal and somewhere to sleep, and the next day i joined the C.L.D.P. program and graduated in 2005 and have been clean and sober ever since, a special thanks to Chaplin Steve Borja, D.H.
