Roy never imagined he\u2019d become homeless. But after his health took a turn, he lost his job, then his savings and everything else\u2026<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Not that long ago, Roy was comfortable. While he wasn\u2019t rich, he had a job, his own place and everything else he needed to get by. However, he began experiencing severe pain in his hands, arms and shoulders. When surgery failed to solve his issues, the pain got so bad he could no longer work and had to leave his job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unable to afford his apartment, Roy went to stay with a friend. But his friend had financial troubles of his own, and soon they had to leave that place, too. After that, Roy had nowhere else to go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forced to live out of his car, Roy found a park with public restrooms \u2014 but not much else. \u201cFor eight months I couldn\u2019t even shower,\u201d he remembers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One summer day when Roy was driving on the freeway, his transmission went out. Without money to pay a tow truck (let alone a mechanic), the last of his earthly possessions was lost and life went from bad to worse. \u201cI was basically on the street with nothing,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I was hot. I was tired. I was out there in 110-degree weather for a week and lost a ton of weight. I was at the end of nowhere.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During his stay at the park, Roy had gotten to know Dave, a case manager for Phoenix Rescue Mission who did street outreach in one of our Hope Coach vehicles. Dave routinely visited the park, providing water and hygiene items and building trust with the people there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nowhere to go, Roy decided to call Dave for help. \u201cDave asked me, \u2018Do you trust me?\u2019 I said yes. And he brought me here to the Mission.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roy arrived with just the clothes on his back. But due to the generous support of friends like you, we were able to provide for all his needs. Roy received fresh clothing and nourishing food. He got a safe place to sleep and personal counseling. Roy also put his faith in Jesus. \u201cChrist said He would meet all of our needs, and the Mission does that in His name. They helped me get my driver\u2019s license back, my Social Security card, my birth certificate and more.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the Mission, Roy experienced genuine love and respect, which deeply impacted his life. \u201cOn the street, everybody\u2019s out there for themselves,\u201d he says. \u201cBut you get here and everybody\u2019s hugging each other and loving each other. Here you get the tools to keep you moving forward. I\u2019m starting fresh.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Today, Roy is learning and growing in Christ. He’s also deeply grateful for the help he’s receiving.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Roy continues to express gratitude for the help he has received and faithful friends like you who make it possible. \u201cThe donor support means everything to me,\u201d he says. \u201cOtherwise, I wouldn\u2019t be here. I might not even be alive. Being here made me a better person and has me wanting to walk with Christ.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you for opening your heart to help vulnerable neighbors like Roy escape the brutally hot streets this summer!<\/h4>","protected":false},"featured_media":8714,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"prm_story_category":[],"class_list":["post-8607","prm_story","type-prm_story","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nRoy's Story - Phoenix Rescue Mission<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/phoenixrescuemission.louderstaging.com\/es\/stories\/roy\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"es_MX\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Roy's Story - Phoenix Rescue Mission\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Roy never imagined he\u2019d become homeless.
