Let me introduce you to richard A once successful hospitality management professional, the army veteran had suffered from depression for nearly all of his adult life. Now, the illness had depleted his body and mind to the point where he was no longer able to work. Without health insurance or access to affordable mental health services, Richard struggled to make ends meet for as long as possible before giving up his apartment. With no clear plan in place, he found a safe place to park his car at the parking lot of a church in High Point, North Carolina. After a couple of weeks, the priest at the church approached Richard to ask about his situation. By that point it was early January and Richard was suffering from frostbite. The priest got Richard to the hospital and eventually Richard landed in a local men’s shelter. After several months, a chance encounter with a Veterans Administration representative at the shelter resulted in Richard being referred to The Servant Center’s Servant House transitional housing program. Richard received his associates degree in Biology from GTCC during his time here, and is now enrolled full time at UNCG studying environmental engineering.
