See how he is now thriving with housing and work.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Every night, Chris was falling asleep on the streets. And every morning, he was waking up hungry. The day in, day out struggles of homelessness were wearing on him. He felt like he was living each day with no direction, that he had become someone he was never supposed to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAt that time, I didn\u2019t accept how bad my situation was,\u201d Chris says. He knew the first step to turning his life around was coming to terms with where he was at \u2014 and where he\u2019d end up if he didn\u2019t muster up the strength to seek help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ready to get off the streets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Chris began to ask himself, <em>What do you want? Do you want to continue to be on these streets, homeless and without direction? Or do you want to get away from it?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He had previously come to The Bowery Mission for a meal. But it wasn\u2019t until an outreach team member approached him on the streets that he took a step toward life transformation. They asked him, \u201cChris, what do you want to do?\u201d Chris knew this was his opportunity and he had to take it. He replied, \u201cGet me inside. Help me off the streets. I\u2019m ready.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At The Bowery Mission, Chris found the compassionate care and support he needed to leave life on the streets for good \u2014 nourishing meals, clothes on his back, recovery services and so much more. He knew it was a gift of grace from God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-center is-style-large is-style-plain has-normal-font-size is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>\u201cWhen you leave the streets, your whole perspective changes.

I get to step out the door and go to work,\u201d he says. \u201cIt feels amazing to get compliments from people who know how far you\u2019ve come and see you in a different state.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chris is grateful for the changes he made and the people in his life. But most important, he\u2019s grateful for God\u2019s loving care. And he knows The Bowery Mission was a part of His redeeming plan. He shares, \u201cThe Bowery Mission was there, from God, every step of the way. They gave me clothes on my back and moral support when I needed to get clean. What they do is incredible. You can&#8217;t really compare it to anything. I have family members who have known this place for years. There&#8217;s a reason why they&#8217;ve been around for 100+ years&#8230;.I went inside and buckled down. I got my documentation together, I got myself together and I got my place. There are really no words. It just goes hand and hand with just being there \u2014 really being there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-center is-style-large is-style-plain has-normal-font-size is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>\u201cIf I had to describe The Bowery Mission in one word, I would say &#8216;strength.&#8217; Because that&#8217;s what they give to people.\u201d \u2014 Chris<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Chris was a guest at our Thanksgiving celebration last year, surrounded by people who were there for him, cared for him and believed in his ability to live a self-sufficient life. He shares, \u201cI came today for a meal because I chose to. I could have stayed home and cooked.
