That dream seemed possible when he earned a basketball scholarship to a nearby university. But everything changed when his mother developed cancer. Bill left school to care for her. Growing up, Bill\u2019s mother had always tried to protect him \u2014 alcoholism and drug addiction afflicted members of his family. So when his mom became ill, Bill wanted to give her the same love and care she had given him. Sadly, she passed away when Bill <span style=\"white-space:nowrap\">was 21.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spiraling into addiction &amp; homelessness<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite his mother\u2019s efforts, Bill eventually fell into addiction himself. He started smoking and drinking at just 13 years old. As an adult, Bill became a functioning alcoholic, constantly seeking work so he could continue drinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bill struggled for decades and experienced homelessness three times. \u201cAlcohol took so much from me,\u201d he says. One of the hardest moments of his life was sending his daughter to live with her mother in Florida. He recalls, \u201cI wasn\u2019t able to take care of myself, and I didn\u2019t want her to see me crying.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2008, homeless for the third time, Bill reached his breaking point. Walking through the park and in tears, he cried out, \u201cGod, I can\u2019t do this!\u201d Bill then heard the Spirit of the Lord say to him, \u201cI got you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bowery.org\/updates\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2603BEN_Matt11_1200.jpg\" alt=\"&quot;Come to me all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest.&quot; Matthew 11:28\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From crisis to a second chance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Soon after, Bill came to The Bowery Mission at a friend\u2019s suggestion. Exhausted and afraid, Bill found comfort in the first two plaques he saw in our chapel: \u201cCome to Me all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest,\u201d and \u201cDo not fear for I am with you; Do not be dismayed for I am your God.\u201d Bill knew he was where he needed to be. That first night, after a warm shower, he lay down on his bed and cried tears of joy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bill was ready to lean into the help available to him at the Mission. He joined our Men\u2019s Residential Program and actively participated in classes, chapel services and trainings \u2014 seeing this as an opportunity for a better life. \u201cThis was God\u2019s plan,\u201d Bill says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Bowery Mission is an awesome place,\u201d he beams. \u201cThe Mission helped me grow and showed me how to love and care for others. It\u2019s not about you \u2014 it\u2019s about those you serve.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bowery.org\/updates\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BoweryMissionSneakPeeks-29_1200.jpg\" alt=\"Group photo of staff and alumni at The Bowery Mission's graduation.\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"font-size:14px\"><em>Bill is pictured here with fellow staff member Jackie (left) and fellow alumni Edna and Irene (far right), gathering to show support at The Bowery Mission\u2019s 2024 Graduation Ceremony.<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Restoration &amp; new life<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After graduating in 2009, Bill stayed on at the Mission \u2014 first as a Mission Trainee, then as a fulltime staff member. Today, at age 70, he serves as a Community Life Coordinator in our emergency shelter. He finds joy in helping the homeless. \u201cI don\u2019t work,\u201d Bill says with a smile. \u201cI serve.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bill experienced true life transformation at The Bowery Mission. He no longer smokes or drinks. After 18 long years, Bill reunited with his daughter and is now in regular contact with her as well as with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. \u201cI thank God for so many blessings,\u201d Bill says. \u201cI enjoy tremendously what I do. I love being a servant unto the Lord. I love being helpful to those I can be helpful to.\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 you hold onto God\u2019s unchanging hand, He\u2019s going to pull you through.\u201d <span style=\"white-space:nowrap\">\u2014 Bill<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background\" style=\"background-color:#e0e0e0\"><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 restoration and a new life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bill first came to our Red Doors in need of safe shelter and critical care but found so much more. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bowery.org\/donate-online\/?c_src=B-Web&amp;c_src2=NU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Your support<\/a> helps give people like Bill the opportunity to land on their feet again and to flourish.
