Hi! My name is John and I’ve been at CITA for 8 months now. Last year, my dad passed away. It was extremely hard on me because I loved him so much. I had been clean and sober for 28 years and the death of my father devastated me to the point that I found myself turning to drugs once again. Drugs and alcohol began to consume me. I was at the end of my rope and seriously contemplated committing suicide. Homeless, destitute, and living in a park was not the life I wanted to live. One morning I found myself wandering around aimlessly. I looked up and saw a WAWA sign. I went in and suddenly saw a very old friend that I had not seen in over 25 years. A devout Christian man named Luis. He saw the pain in my eyes and began to pray for me. He told me about this place called CITA. I know in my heart now that the Good Lord divinely appointed Luis to help me. Although hesitant and reluctant, I got in his car and he brought me to CITA. Once at CITA, I could vividly remember a particular Bible story where the Lord spoke to my heart. I’ve been learning so much about the Lord and His purpose in my life. He has used CITA as a lifeline of hope and through all of this, I’ve found salvation through Christ. I was just a poor sinner and now I am a saint of God.
