Our goal at Hope Beyond Bridges is to provide for the needs of the homeless and to gain their trust. Those needs include food, hygiene, clothing, prayer and hope for a better future. We meet the same chronically homeless individuals every week and hear the hopelessness in their voices. They have been hurt in many ways and often turn to drugs and alcohol to cope rather than taking a chance on other people to help them. It takes time to gain the trust of a chronically homeless person to show them that they can depend on us rather than their substance of choice. When we gain that trust we can help individuals realize that better future.
