A Message from Andy Bales
On Sunday, I had the privilege of celebrating Easter at the Hollywood Bowl with men and women in the midst of transforming their lives through one of URM’s long-term residential programs. The Easter message is one of love, sacrifice, redemption, miracles and HOPE! As you might imagine, there was something very special about listening to that message and considering the impact of God’s love and sacrifice on my own life as I watched our men and women — people who had lost all hope before coming to Union Rescue Mission, respond to the same message.
Your generosity makes HOPE possible! Click here to see “Serwa – part 2” the latest video in the ongoing, ground breaking series – Stories from Skid Row. Serwa’s story is a great example of the transformation that can take place when someone who is homeless is given the tools and support they need to get their life back in order. And when you give, you share in the success of each of the men and women, like Serwa, that we are caring for.
Union Rescue Mission is facing incredibly difficult times right now as we make room for the men, women and children who are coming to us every day. Your continued support will make it possible to renovate 22 more units of housing at our Hope Gardens Family Center so we can move 22 more precious moms and their children out of Skid Row and to a life of Hope. Every gift, large or small makes a big difference.
Thank you and may God bless you.
