local homeless shelter helps man become inspiration

Life had clearly presented Chuck with challenges, including amputation of both legs that forced him to depend on a wheelchair. Other unfortunate circumstances led him to Northlands Rescue Mission, a United Way-funded agency that provides food, shelter, clothing and other assistance to poor, needy and transient men and women. 

The Mission proved to be an answer to Chuck’s prayers.  In addition to forming special relationships at the Mission, Chuck received help from its outreach coordinators, who connected him with the necessary social and medical services.

Chuck often commented on the wonderful community and its open heart.  He was so grateful that he became an inspirational man who taught others to appreciate what they had.  Chuck successfully moved on with his life and presently resides in Indiana where he owns his own home and mechanic business.
