Maybe They Need To Rewrite Their Mission Statement or Start Living By It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I went here from another state fleeing from a violent assault, rapist and predator! Left almost everything I had! It started out great and was made to feel very welcomed, safe and given hope that someone cared enough to help me start a brand new life which has not been easy at my age, with my health issues and what I've been thru!
Well not so good after a few days of busting my hump hour after hour, day after day, night after night dealing with trying to find a job and coping! Watching other's do nothing but play on their phone's, talking to guy's, having friends and family pick them up with no intentions of finding a job or even trying to better themselves getting extension after extension after extension!
Meanwhile, I'm having to beg for bus passes, beg for extensions by always breaking my neck to provide proof that I have an interview with someone! The harder I tried, the harder it got for me there! I get an interview and get "The Job" through WSC, however because my "drug & physical test" hadn't been scheduled yet, I couldn't get an extension and am thrown out on the streets to the wolves again! Let me add that because I didn't and do NOT have an addiction problem it actually hurt me and the help that I could have been offered, SMH
As of now, my bed is a picnic table under a pavilion in a park with a few other homeless people and food when someone is kind enough to bring some by because the food stamp office can't seem to get it together and no place to shower or wash clothes. However, I continued with the job process until I finished it and am now working a night shift which disqualifies me from The Salvation Army which turned me away because I was trying to WORK!
AND
with The Good Lord's help somehow managed to finish my college admissions and am currently working on my Bachelor's Degree in Applied Science/Criminal Justice & Homeland Security!
ALL FROM MY PICNIC TABLE because the Refuge won't allow me back for 30 day's!!!!!!
It's a sad world when people call themselves Christians yet they continue to coddle, help and enable the one's that truly don't want anything out of life but a free ride while the rest are cast aside like unwanted trash until a good majority of them are pushed to the point of mental incompetence or another statistic of an addict
GOD BLESS THOSE that do not fall into this catagory AND especially THOSE of you that DON'T
Faith Mission and Faith Refuge collaborate with the local Housing Authority and North Texas Regional Planning Commission to help people move from homelessness to affordable housing.
Review from Guidestar
The people there are real caring christians, and try to get everybody back on track, they have 3 meals a day, and an outside labor pool, for anybody needing something done, the only only negitive is the blacks that you have to put with who are loud, obnoxious, sell dope, and act like sexual predators, and are bullies.
Review from CharityNavigator
I began going to Faith Mission with my church on a monthly basis. As I sat there and would see not only the individuals but the families that were being ministered to (naturally and spiritually) it opened my eyes to the love and compassion that people have to be there for mankind in a way that touches lives forever. I praise God for the Wichita Falls, Faith Mission, Inc.
