In this issue, we share the inspiring story of Edna, who came to The Shelter after having cancer, two strokes in prison, and winding up in a wheelchair. “I’ve been through it,” as she said. “But I did not give up.” And you’ll learn how Quazja Cannon, The Mission’s Returning Citizens Care Coordinator, helped Edna prepare to leave The Shelter and, for the first time in decades, live on her own in supportive housing.

You will also learn how Robert, Dave, Jackie and Staci each learned, through the help of counselors at The Mission, to overcome daunting challenges and see their true potential.

“I used to sleep under a bridge, hoping I would not wake up in the morning...

Now, thanks to The Mission, my wife and I own an auto repair shop, hired our first employee (who is also in recovery), bought our own home, and our children are thriving. The Mission provided opportunities that helped me recover, then gain skills, confidence, and a sense of purpose.”
