Ivan's Story

Ivan, who is legally blind,
became homeless in the
summer of 2019. “When the
intake lady found out I was
blind, there was no hesitation to
help. She said they’d do their
best to help me and take care of
me. I can feed and dress myself,
but getting around is hard. But
Manna has been wonderful. The
warming center has been a
lifesaver. If it wasn’t for them, by
now I probably would have
frozen to death. I can’t thank
them enough. Last night, and
then again today, is the first time
I’ve actually laughed or smiled
since the first of July.”
