    I've been homeless in Texas for nearly 4 years now. We had the most horrible winter this year and the cold is so painful.

      I really hope you’re life gets better, I would love to be able to give warm clothes and meals to the homeless, the cost of living is so high, it’s hard. God Bless You ❤

    Union gospel mission thank you. Thank you Chaplin Kim and Troy also David Marrow and Sammy although there not at the UGM anymore they continue to do incredible things for God.
    My time at the mission was a completely miracle. Being at the mission gave me hope and faith. I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer while living in Minnesota but being at UGM help save my life.
    Everyday seeing the many faces that come through to eat, wash up, sleep on the cots and take time to worship. So many faces and stories give me hope in God that no matter what I was gonna be all right.
    I LOVE EVERY MOMENT AT THE MISSION AND CANNOT WAIT TO COME HOME FOR A VISIT VERY SOON. ITLL BE THE FIRST PLACE I COME AND SEE ALSO GET ON MY KNEES AND GIVE THANKS TO THE BUILDING AND PEOPLE THAT GIVE SERVICE EVERYDAY LIKE JAMES AT THE FRONT DESK.

      @jeffreyb8770 Před rokem

      THEN MORE HOMELESS WOULD TAKE THEIR PLACE! So then you'd shelter the new homeless, and even MORE homeless would take THEIR place, then you'll have ghettoes of idle, sheltered, people who get addicted to drugs and commit violent crime.

      Bleeding heart do-gooders need to stop feeling sorry for the homeless, they CHOOSE to do this to themselves, close down the soup kitchens and shelters and you'll see how quickly these people start taking care of themselves, Americans are lazy and unmotivated
