I was speaking with Charles today and he told me that Paul got a job!
Paul is a man who ended up here in Richmond by way of New York.
He literally left everything and got on a bus to Richmond.
Charles took Paul in a couple of months ago.
He had no where to go.
That first day I met Paul was the first day he had run into Charles.
I thought to myself why not give him some work to do.
I was fixing up my house to put it on the market to sell. I needed some help moving some mulch.
Paul accepted my offer and I picked him up the next day.
Paul did an awesome job around the house.
I thought Paul would serve as a great employee for whoever would take a chance on him.
For weeks now, Charles has been trying to find Paul a job.
Charles took him in with no money and no income, but gave him a chance at a new start!
Today Paul got another chance at a fresh start with a new job!
If you provide the housing for the Urban Camper, then that opens doors for so much more.
I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Paul and look forward to the days to come when I too will be his neighbor.
Housing First, works and allows people to get back to work.
