Stories of Hope from Thrive Participants

“When I was using, at my lowest, they always helped me out. Everything…from food to clothes to toiletry items. I wouldn’t be alive without the people here. This is the place to come to when you’re down on your luck. They will never turn away someone who is really in need.” ~ Thrive program participant

“I wouldn’t be able to survive without this place. I’d be depressed all the time. I’ve lost a lot in my life. Now I’m trying to keep toxic people and negativity out of my life, so I need this place. The people here are like family to me.” ~ Thrive Street Reach participant

“I was fresh out of rehab and Thrive helped me so much. Before Thrive, I was pretty much isolated. I didn’t have good friends and the places I did go out to weren’t healthy. This program gave me structure and some purpose; positive things to do. And they opened that door for me to meet good people; to make real friends.” ~ Thrive Blue Door program participant

“Thrive kept me alive. It’s given me a space to explore how I wanted to be, with ongoing support and reassurance. I feel so safe here. I’m just glad they exist and I hope they stay around.” ~ Thrive Blue Door program participant
