Hope and Renewal through Pathway of Hope
Ward found himself at a crossroads in his life. Struggling with alcohol addiction and personal turmoil, he realized he couldn’t continue on his current path.
“Somehow I managed to maintain my job,” says Ward. “I was depressed but didn’t understand that I was. Every time I felt down, I drank it away.”
In this moment of vulnerability, Ward reached out to The Salvation Army, seeking a lifeline to pull himself out of despair. At Pathway of Hope, Ward began a transformative journey, supported by a caseworker who helped him set and achieve clear objectives:
- Achieve six months of sobriety
- Secure stable and affordable housing
- Give back to the community through volunteering a few hours each week
Throughout his journey, Ward experienced a profound transformation.
“I have fundamentally changed,” says Ward. “I am open to God using me and look for ways to help others. I want others to live their best life. I have let go of my anger and all the aggression I carried around with me.”
Pathway of Hope enriched Ward’s perspective on life. By supporting his community, serving hot dogs to the homeless, and listening to their stories, his worldview was reshaped and his commitment to service was reinforced.
