Mel’s Journey to Hope
Mel first came to Outreach in August of 2022, and during her first time at our Program Center, she knew the environment was exactly where she needed to be during this part of her journey. She was met with love, hope, and compassion, and our team continued to show up for her in the ways that she needed as she walked in a path towards hope.
