It was such a fun day at Mobile Loaves and Fishes yesterday celebrating our almost 10 year relationship and our $5 million commitment to the future phases of Community First! Village. There was a birthday cake for John Paul, storytelling from MLF founder Alan Graham and a visit to the art house. After John Paul told the story of how he was homeless when he was starting Paul Mitchell, one of the staff asked him if he could remember how he felt the first night he slept in his car. “Lonely,” he said. “I was very lonely. And uncomfortable.” He went on to say that he understands how it is to be homeless, but he always tries to see the good as well. “When you’re that low, there’s nowhere you can look but up.” We are looking up and forward to seeing future residents find their way home and their way out of homelessness.
CBS Austin was there to capture the day, and you can watch it now!
