Kevin’s Story
“I don’t know where I’d be today without Crossroads”
With a history of substance abuse, when Kevin lost his housing situation in the middle of winter, he had nowhere else to turn. So he decided to give Crossroads Mission Avenue a try. Things turned out better than he could’ve imagined! Today, Kevin is clean, responsible and excited about the path he’s on. It’s a road to better things, compared to the road to ruin he once walked. “I don’t know where I’d be today without Crossroads,” he says. “I’m pretty sure I would have ended up going down that bad road and I wouldn’t get back again. Crossroads has really made a difference in my life.” Kevin’s hopes for the future include getting closer to God, staying sober, and serving those who are in need. If he could, Kevin would thank you personally for supporting the mission. “I believe in Crossroads,” he says. “There’s not much out there that gives people hope and faith, but Crossroads has given me all that.”
