Ahhh! Seven! This kid is amazing! Brilliant beyond words, just a little lost in esteem. Seven was living on the streets of Eugene, Oregon when I met him.He came out to Christmas Valley and after about 2 months of hard work and positive encouragement, he was ready to move forward in life. He is currently in Montrose, Co. and he is doing terrific!
Mr. Daniel!!. I met Daniel in March of 2014. He was hitch hiking on the I-5 with his girlfriend. I picked them up in a terrible rain storm and took them to the only available shelter at the time, "Whosville"; a tent city/protest for the right to sleep camp, located in Eugene, OR. His Partner had some court dates, that kept them in the area and after a few weeks of Soul Therapy, Daniel realized he was not where he wanted to be, or with the right person for his growth. Daniel came out to the property in Christmas Valley in April 2014. He was a HUGE set of helpful hands to me, as we cleaned the property and worked on the living space. Able to find him work with a local rancher, Daniel is still in Christmas Valley, holding down a very lucritive position as a Ranch Hand, living in his own home.
Meet Dustin! I picked this Kid up outside of Crescent City, Ca. Early March of 2014. It was almost dark and raining, he was just soaking wet and he was thumbing a ride. When I asked him where he was going, he looked at me and with his respectful tone and sly smile, he asked me, "where are you going?" So...he rode with me through 3 states over 2 weeks. On the road with me, he helped with Soul Therapy and providing supplies, food, blankets, etc. for the other homeless people I work with. That helped with his own self growth, leading him off the streets! Dustin is a dedicated, hard working Human! He worked his bottom off for those I help! He chopped wood, learned to garden, carried water..If a hand was needed, this Guy was 1st on the scene to offer his! Dustin is currently doing fantastic in life, he still volunteers from time to time with me and he still visits Christmas Valley, just to see how the progress is going!
Rachel and Jeremy! This willing to work Couple was expecting their 1st child when I met them living in a tent village in Eugene, OR. They got off the streets, in April 2014. They stayed on the property in Christmas Valley until he found work and they could get their own residence. They have since had a healthy baby Boy and are doing amazingly well!
I met Nick in Boise, Id. in Mid Sept 2014. She was holding a sign at a gas station that said "ANY WHERE BUT HERE". I of course stopped to assist her and with in 30 minutes of meeting me, she was on her way home...to San Louis Obispo, CA.....I drove her there personally and had her off the streets just one day later.
