David Shares His Story

Sunday Breakfast Rescue Mission
Mission Guest Story: You gave David a new start
When David came to Sunday Breakfast, he was at a low point: living on the streets and struggling with addiction. David hated how his addiction made him feel and how it made him act. He knew that he couldn’t survive much longer if something didn’t change. He wanted to get clean.
 “I came to Sunday Breakfast for help. They have saved my life by getting me the help I needed.
David came to Sunday Breakfast looking for help. Finding a path out of addiction is never easy, but at the Mission, he no longer had to go it alone. CJ Bauers, Sunday Breakfast’s Homeless Services Case Manager, found David a place at Baltimore’s Helping Up Mission’s (HUM) Spiritual Recovery Program, a collaboration with HUM and local hospitals and mental health providers, which helped him recover. Now, David is building a new  life for himself. Once he finishes the program at HUM, he wants to come back to Sunday Breakfast to complete our NEXT Level Program and work towards self-sufficiency. He also plans to go back to school and to become a peer support counselor for others who struggle with addiction. “Now that I am getting sober, I can dream again,” David said. 
There is hope for men who, like David, are struggling with addiction and homelessness, if we can help them to make changes in their lives. We wouldn’t be able to provide the help people like David need without your support. Donors like you are the reason we can continue our mission of helping the hungry, homeless, and hurting. If you’re able to, please consider making a donation today to help people like David find better futures.

"The Partnership offers support and options I didn't even know existed."

Partnership to End Addiction

Brenda

I never thought my family would personally experience the nightmare that is addiction. But we came to know the unrelenting anxiety that fuels this disease when my son was just 15 years old. He veered off a healthy path of "growing up" and started a long, perilous descent into substance use.

As his behavior worsened, we were overcome with fear. Therapy and counseling didn't help, and we didn't know where to turn. My son dropped out of school and was often in trouble with the law, leading to endless cycles of relapses and rehabilitation.

Our crisis finally imploded when he overdosed on prescription pills – twice in one week. He was on life support for three days, and we felt helpless as we prepared to say goodbye. Our story could have ended like so many other tragedies – yet somehow, he miraculously pulled through.

That's when we found the Partnership. Another parent recommended their unique peer coaching program and customized services that helped our family heal. Today, I take the valuable insight from the painful lessons we lived and offer them as a gift to other families.

Your gift to The Addiction Crisis Emergency Fund will be a lifeline for a family in need, ensuring the Partnership can provide others the same critical support we received – especially during the holidays and into the new year.

A generous donor is matching, dollar-for-dollar, the next 100 donations to the fund. This means your $50 becomes $100 — so make your year-end gift today.


MATCH MY DONATION NOW

I want you to know there is hope, and the Partnership is here to help families navigate this difficult journey with much-needed tools and compassion.

No matter the amount you can give, your gift makes an immediate difference to families like mine.

With gratitude,

Brenda Signature
