Andy Moves In

For those who have been following the life of this young man, from the article in the Elk Grove Citizen, to the time spent with caring PATH volunteers and staff who assisted Andy and helped improve his circumstances. Andy has found a new home!

Andy has been homeless for three years. He did not want to rely on assistance. He wanted to work, get a good job and improve his life. With the help of the PATH (People Assisting The Homeless) program and a concerned community; Andy received help with his hearing problem, and help with repairing his vehicle. Determined to become gainfully employed, he worked on his resume, refined his interviewing skills and landed a great job. With further assistance from PATH, Andy has learned to save and budget his earnings, so that he can afford to rent a room and end his homelessness.


Andy is another shining example of what can be done with determination and hard work. We at EGFBS are so pleased about Andy's new start, that we had a small house warming "shower" to make sure he had the essentials for this new era of his life.
