Ways YOU Can Support ALEA Bridge

"Every father should remember one day his son will follow his example, not his advice."

Charles Kettering

The role of a father is a powerful one indeed and for Joshua Stultz, he knew that all too well. As a child, Joshua's father was addicted to drugs and as he grew up, Joshua soon followed in his footsteps. At the age of 20, he became addicted to drugs and began selling cocaine. Upon meeting his wife and having children of his own, Joshua knew he needed to be the father to them that he never had. He joined the union and made a life for his family over the course of fifteen years, but the drugs never seemed to loosen their hold.

One day, Joshua came home to find out that his wife was having an affair and had left him along with their children. Everything he had worked to build over fifteen years was gone in a matter of minutes. The pain he experienced from losing his family caused him to lose all hope. For the next few years, he remained on the streets, but the one thing that he held onto was the thought of his children and the promise he had made to them. A chance encounter with ALEA Bridge would be the start of him fulfilling that promise once again.

Joshua began working with his caseworker at ALEA Bridge, discussing the bright possibilities for his family's future. However, before he was able to enroll in rehab, Joshua was arrested. While sitting in jail, he had the realization that this was the point of turnaround, not just for him, but for his children as well. Upon getting released, Joshua continued to work with his caseworker and was soon placed into a rehabilitation center where he now stays. After completing the program, Joshua hopes to have a home with his kids again and return the kindness that was shown to him by ALEA Bridge to others in the community. Joshua is setting an example that his kids will soon follow, one that shows the value of love, generosity, and hope.

Mother Theresa once said, "If you can't feed a hundred people, then just feed one." That one will in turn feed another, who will then feed another, and then feed another. No one act of kindness stops with you. It develops a life of its own, stretching far beyond yourself leaving lasting impacts on all that it touches. Your generosity has the power to change the story of not just one man or one family, but an entire community.

"WHO WILL BRIDGE THE GAP" 

On MONDAY NOVEMBER 23rd, 2020, ALEA Bridge launched our "Who Will Bridge the Gap" fundraising campaign, with the goal of raising $34,200!The campaign will run from NOVMEBER 23rd, 2020 to DECEMBER 31st, 2020.
This campaign is vital for us to raise the funds necessary to continue to fund our programs which are proven and successful in reversing the trend of homelessness on Oahu. If we were forced to cut back or even close our doors, there is no one else in our region to fill that void. We currently do not have the funds to continue these programs and need your support. Today, we are asking you to partner with us and bridge this gap.
Our Problem...In the midst of the COVID-19 crisis, there has been an increased number of homeless individuals throughout the entire nation. However, countless non-profit organizations tailored to servicing our homeless brothers and sisters have also been forced to cease operations. This has created a gap within our communities that MUST be filled! This can only happen with the support of our community partners like YOU!
Together we can impact lives today...One of the best ways you can show your support for ALEA Bridge is by sharing our campaign emails and social media posts with your family and friends. You can also start a FACEBOOK FUNDRAISER, to encourage your family and friends to become the BRIDGE as well!
