My former case manager. He helped me get a grant to pay for a year of my housing when I had to live with no power and water in a run down house for a couple months and a storage unit for another month last year all because my step father had a heart attack and couldn't work to support me anymore.

This man fought for me when I had given up all hope. Prior to meeting him, the only thing that I felt was there for me when I needed somebody was my inner darkness. Because he was there for me and helped me so much this past year, I was saved from myself. He helped fight for me and helped me gain some of the tools and learn some of the skills needed to function as an adult. While I still have trouble, I went from a mentally unstable person who couldn't support myself or do anything right and only saw darkness to a full time college student who is almost ready to achieve some much stability in his life all because of this one person.

I truly have him to thank me for showing me some compassion and helping me see that there are people who aren't selfish pieces of crap out there. Before I met him, I truly thought that humans were all selfish scary backstabbers and nobody would ever care about me because I'm too crazy to be loved. This way of thinking almost led me to living the life of a conman screwing people over to meet my needs. I truly saw only darkness and despair before my case manager, no, my friend, helped me.

He took a job at a homeless shelter and is no longer seeing me. I miss him dearly
