As a youth I always loved the arts. I remember being inspired by soul, the blues and gospel. I remember music being all around me: the singing voices at church, the children making beats in the neighborhood and how my family sounded musical even when they spoke. I also loved to read classics like Shakespeare and most importantly the Holy Bible. I carried those books with me everywhere I went. That\u2019s what led me to know I wanted to be a writer one day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For many years, I had a problem moving forward with my life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At 18, I started smoking tobacco, which became a habit. For the next 10 years, I continued to smoke. I did three packs a day and about a carton and a half a week. Smoking helped me with depression and it felt great. The only problem was, it was never a solution. After all the heavy smoking, I finally quit. It was a very hard thing to do. I needed to move on with my life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Things only got harder trying to make it on my own. When situations didn\u2019t work out or go the way I wanted, I struggled with withdrawals and outbursts. I grew very depressed and angry. I had a lot of things written down \u2014 a lot of thoughts, hopes, wishes and dreams \u2014 but I didn&#8217;t know how to bring them to fruition. <strong>I would get great jobs and learned the job wasn\u2019t the problem \u2014 it was something inside myself.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One day I woke up and I felt like Rip Van Winkle, like the world was nowhere near what it was before I fell asleep. The years were going by very fast and I felt so low. I remember thinking, \u201cI don\u2019t want anyone to help me. I don\u2019t want to be a part of anything.\u201d Still, I didn\u2019t want to have the regret of not reaching out for help. With that being said, in the spring of 2021 I traveled to New York City. I said, &#8220;Maybe this will be something to jumpstart my life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I went to the subway station after camping out, sleeping outside, an MTA operator approached me and said:<strong> &#8220;There are people at The Bowery Mission who will help you.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Bowery Mission: A place for me to rehabilitate and retool my life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bowery.org\/updates\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/KARLKY_GIFT-3-of-3_1200.jpg\" alt=\"Care kits for guests offer hope at The Bowery Mission's overnight shelter\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bowery Mission\u2019s overnight shelter at Tribeca was a beautiful place. I got back into a better routine of showering, sleeping and eating regular meals. I met with a counselor to talk through my options. Together, we decided that it would be best for me to enter the long-term Residential Program for men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I learned which things to pick up and which things to lay down. It gave me a chance to reach toward something greater. Working on me was something I had never really done. At The Bowery Mission, God began to change me. It definitely wasn\u2019t me, because I had tried to do that on my own for years! He worked in me as I submitted myself to the classes, the counseling, the mental health sessions and group meetings. He made it possible for me to regain my identification and even get a new warm jacket. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I learned strategies for coping with my withdrawals and for responding more constructively to daily challenges. I learned that even though the problem might not be me, I can\u2019t become a problem too. <strong>I learned that you have to heal so that you can be a healing presence.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ready to move forward<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bowery.org\/updates\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/2305BEN_A-grad-with-hope_1200.jpg\" alt=\"Andre graduating from The Bowery Mission's Residential Programs with hope\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A year and three months later I graduated from The Bowery Mission. I\u2019ve been able to hold down a factory job now for more than seven months. I\u2019m also going back to school to get a degree in English with a concentration in writing and literature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At one time, I believed I would get everything I wanted in life. Now I know that no matter what happens, to keep my composure and move forward. I am not my work. I am not my accomplishments. I am not my situations. I am not my circumstances. I am not my race. I am not the sum of everything I\u2019ve completed. I now know to put God first and seek His will. <strong>My job as Andre is to demonstrate the love of Jesus Christ in my life so others can know Him through my actions and example.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bowery.org\/updates\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/2305BEN_A_Header_1200.jpg\" alt=\"Andre smiling with hope\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:7px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background\" style=\"background-color:#eaeaea\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">You can help others find a fresh start and true hope<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/donate-online\/?s_src=B-Web&amp;s_subsrc=NU\">Your support<\/a> helps give people like Andre the opportunity to stand on their feet again and to flourish.
