• Renewal Story: Charles

    Posted:

    “I thought I could do it on my own,” Charles says. He had grown up churched, but as he got older, he no longer turned to God. He now sees that was a mistake. A series of illnesses cost Charles on job after another, and he ended up on the streets of Fort Worth. For several years, he struggled to find a place to sleep, something to eat, even a friend to talk to.

The only thing he had left to lose was his life. He thoughts about suicide, but instead decided to seek help. From that point on, he says, “My journey began.” It led him to Union Gospel Mission of Tarrant County last May.

    Posted:

    “My mother was a drug addict for most of her life,” says Arica, “but she was my best friend.” Arica’s grandmother was also addicted – to alcohol – but Arica had somehow escaped the family tendency. She had a good job and place of her own. Then her mother fell into a coma, and Arica’s life changed dramatically.
