I first came to the Mission through the Navigation Center over a year ago when I became homeless. From there I was referred to the Bridging Program. I ride the bus to and from work out of town, but it's nice to have a place to come back to that's quiet and where I can cook and clean up after a long day of work. I was able to save some money and now I have moved to the Transitional Program. I'm still looking for more permanent housing, but I get to stay in a nice and safe place while I work and search. Thank you to the Merced Rescue Mission.
