Furnie's Story:
Furnie Gaines was in trouble.
The former cook had a drinking problem, and by the late 1980s had exhausted every program in the Atlantic City area designed to help him.
"They ran out of places to send me," he remembers.
Today, Gaines is a testament to the power of human will and a true American success story. With the help of Trenton’s Rescue Mission on Carroll Street, the 57-year-old Gaines is now the director of Support Services and Facility for the Mission. The Rescue Mission assists the homeless seeking shelter, food and clothing, as well as provide services to those battling addiction.
