Stories of hope
“
Mercy Hospice has been a kind and good place for me. I am 52 years old and homeless. They open their doors to me with open arms. They help me with my health and other issues that have been hindering me such as mental health, drug addiction, and homelessness. They give me a reason to look forward to tomorrow. Thank you Mercy Hospice!

I arrived at Mercy Hospice in 2010 broken down mentally, physically and spiritually. I was on parole and had no where to turn. I wanted to live a life free from drugs and alcohol, but I wasn’t sure how to do that. Thru the kindness, knowledge and generosity of the staff and my fellow Mercy residents, I have not only remained sober, I’m employed, attending college and I have contact with the child I once abandoned for my addiction. If you had told me 5 years ago that my tag line would be #lorilovinglife I wouldn’t have believed you, but it is. I’ve worked diligently to develop a sober network and a relationship with God. I attend AA. And I don’t use under any conditions. My new life began at Mercy Hospice and for that I will be eternally grateful.
