Like so many Americans, I came from a broken home. My dad did the best he could, but I was determined to live life my own way. I started running away at 12 and was out of the house by 13. I bounced from place to place, and by 15, I had already faced more than most adults—molestation, addiction, homelessness, and time in juvenile detention.

By my late teens and twenties, my life was a cycle of addiction, pain, and incarceration. I’ve been to jail 43 times and caught more charges than I can count. Meth and heroin had their grip on me, and I was lost, angry, and hopeless. I was destined for the grave or a prison cell.

But God.

In 2019, God revealed Himself to me in ways I can’t deny—miraculous, personal, and powerful. He met me right where I was and began to heal what I didn’t even know was broken. Little by little, He softened my heart and opened my eyes to the truth that the same God who spoke the universe into existence had me in mind when He did it. Every mistake, every moment of pain, every time I fell—He was shaping me into the man of God I was meant to be.

I’m not perfect, but today I am over three years clean from meth and heroin. I haven’t been convicted of a crime in over a year—both personal records for me. Most importantly, I’ve found my purpose: to use my story and my past to bring hope to those who feel forgotten, broken, and trapped in the same cycle I once knew.

God has called me to build a ministry that reaches people where they are—with love, compassion, and the truth of Jesus Christ. Through this ministry, I want to show people that no one is too far gone for God to reach, and that even in the darkest places, light can still shine.

What We’re Raising Funds For

We’re currently raising funds for the final startup costs, operational costs, and community outreach to officially launch this ministry. One of our first outreach efforts will be “Taco Tuesday”—a weekly outreach every Tuesday where we provide free tacos, fellowship, and prayer for the homeless and anyone in need.

Funds will go toward:

Purchasing tacos and supplies for outreach events

Gas and transportation to reach those in need

Buying a reliable car for outreach use

Covering small stipends for volunteers helping with outreach

Renting a venue or space if needed for gatherings, worship, or community meals

This isn’t just about food—it’s about feeding souls, building relationships, and showing people the tangible love of Christ through action.

If my story speaks to you, I humbly ask for your support—whether through prayer, sharing this campaign, or donating toward this mission. Every dollar helps bring us one step closer to reaching those still caught in the same darkness I once knew.

From broken to chosen. From running away to running toward purpose.

This is only the beginning of what God is about to do.
