Marcus, a Vietnam veteran, spent six years living on the streets in makeshift shelters, struggling with alcoholism and a lack of family support. After meeting with the VA, he found a home at Piquette Square and was asked a life-changing question: "Are you willing to quit?" With determination, Marcus embraced sobriety, attending meetings and building a supportive community. Now 14 years sober, he credits MiSide and the support of donors for helping him rebuild his life. Today, Marcus spreads hope by mentoring new tenants and keeping his door open to help others. Your support made Marcus’s transformation possible.
