Sampson James is a former running back at Indiana University Bloomington. After being kicked out by his brother, Sampson has been homeless for the past seven months. Despite the challenges, he’s worked at Home Depot and Red Robin, always striving to get back on his feet. I met Sampson after graduating from Indiana myself, and his athletic backpack caught my attention. Learning about his story, I was moved by his resilience and determination.

Sampson’s situation is tough, but he remains hopeful. He shared, 'I feel like I'm prepared and ready to tackle whatever challenge that I have ahead of me. I don't know what's ahead of me, but I'm ready for it, you know. So I'm leaving the past in the past and I'm ready to move forward in life.' With your support, we can help Sampson get the essentials he needs—clothes, shoes, a safe place to stay, furniture, and household necessities. I’ll also be helping him find a job so he can rebuild his life and regain stability.

Please join me in supporting Sampson as he takes this next step. Your generosity will make a real difference, giving him hope and the resources to move forward. Every contribution, big or small, helps Sampson leave the past behind and start fresh.
