BEDFORD – This Father’s Day make a difference in a child’s life by donating to a place that makes a difference in their dad’s life…the Men’s Warming Shelter.
One way the Men’s Warming Shelter of Bedford helps men become better dads is by strengthening their relationship with the Lord, through prayer, Bible Study, and the mentorship of strong Christian fathers from local churches.
For years “Rick” struggled as a dad. Divorce led to depression and addiction which led to incarceration and then homelessness.
Being a father was difficult and his relationship with his children was severed. But last season, he became a guest at the Men’s Warming Shelter and during that time, Rick got the support he needed to get sober, find employment, and restart his life.
His greatest joy was when he was able to reestablish his relationship with his daughters.
At first, it was simple things like phone calls and helping with their homework. Then he was able to begin financially supporting them.
Through the help of his shelter mentors, he was able to purchase a vehicle. Now the girls look forward to their dad picking them up after school and taking them for ice cream.
What does Rick love – showing up and cheering for them at their softball games
His next life goal is a place of his own with an extra bedroom for his girls.
What a difference a season made to Rick and his daughters.
