I came to the Merced Rescue Mission when it was located on Canal Street when I became homeless. I remember sleeping on a yoga mat on the floor and being grateful to be out of the cold.
Over the years, I stayed with the Rescue Mission in their transitional program for men. I have come a long way on this journey. I am now in my own apartment and so thankful for everything the Merced Rescue Mission has done for me.
