Eagles Hope Beginning:
A young homeless man with a gentle soul captured the hearts of local community members in 2013. He spent years living on the streets not believing in himself. When a group of individuals stepped in to help the homeless, he took the initiative to make his life better. For months, he was off the streets receiving treatment. Unfortunately, he was discharged in the middle of winter, he had no place to go except back into the environment he knew. He froze to death shortly after. Eagles Hope Transitions was founded in 2014 so individuals seeking a better life would have a safe transition back into the communities’ mainstream.
