Dalton

"My life has changed a lot since I came here to BUCM," Dalton said. "I've got a job thanks to the case managers here and there's just a lot of really good people ... The staff here are trying to help you get off the streets. If you don't know how to then, come down by here [BUCM] ... if you're willing to help yourself, they're willing to help you".

Lisa

"I became homeless three years ago and I was lost," Lisa said. "I have breast cancer and I didn't know what to do or how to live ... As soon as I walked in the door [at BUCM], they were all super nice. They told me how I could get a hot plate of food and so many other things I needed. I just really embraced it ... I don’t see what I’m going through as a disease, it’s just the next step in my life. I've been blessed."

Eric

When asked how he became homeless Eric responded "I have had plenty of time to think about that. I trusted the wrong people Is what it really comes down to. I used to be a business owner on Main street in Marion...The truth is I just lost everything and didn't bounce back fast enough...It's not what knocks us down that defines us it's what we do when we get back up and I just took a little too long to get back up."
