We all have times in our lives when we feel "hopeless." But with time, prayer, healing and the support of family and friends, those times usually pass away.

It’s different when you’re hungry, homeless, or addicted to drugs or alcohol. When you’re living on the streets or being abused, hope is often non-existent.

For many, Memphis Union Mission is the last hope. For others like Michael, the Mission is the glue that keeps them from "falling through the cracks."

Michael is proof positive that no matter how much education you have, drugs can bring you down just as fast as the next guy.  While attending the University of Tennessee, Michael was introduced to meth.

But it wasn’t until after he graduated from college and moved back to Memphis with his fiancé that the trouble really began.  First, he lost a promising job at a local corporation after failing a drug test.  Then, the engagement was broken off, again because of drugs.

Fortunately, Michael ended up at Memphis Union Mission where he received Christ and went through our recovery program at Calvary Colony.  Today, Michael is back on his feet and praising God and donors like you who helped him get his life put back together.

Through the generous support of friends like you to Memphis Union Mission, you’ve helped bring hope and healing into the lives of hundreds of people. Now, we want to reach out to hundreds more.

This spring we want to make sure everyone like Michael who comes to the Mission gets a Message of Hope... especially those who will learn about us for the first time at our Inner City Outreach in May.

You can help us offer Hope to someone by Giving a secure donation now so we can put it to work immediately. You see, when generous friends donate online, we not only are able to use the gifts immediately, but it also saves us administrative costs. So please, help us provide Hope with your donation today.

God bless you for caring,
