“After all I’d been through,” he said. “I finally found my place. I’d been in the streets in my alcohol and drug years and spent time in the shelter. But I never imagined it would be here that I felt such a sense of belonging. All of the hurt, the suffering, the addiction, the isolation and loneliness, having nobody. It was right there. Jesus came to be with the broken. I felt such a sense of belonging amongst the broken. It became my duty to be with them.” – Sarge
