Over the past 12 years, a man has helped hundreds of Detroiters get treatment, find shelter and get a job.
“It was terrible. Don’t know where next meal, sleep — addicted, always in need of something,” Bradley said.
He found himself at the doors of the Detroit Rescue Mission Ministries.
“They told me we’re going to love you until you learn to love yourself and that’s exactly what they did,” he said.
After years in and out of treatment centers, he said the men who work there had a profound impact on his recovery.
“He (the men) looks like me, I can relate to him as a black man might not be same street or neighborhood but same struggle and I feel like he can understand what I’m going through,” Bradley said.
Keith turned his life around. Going from homeless and addicted, to director of permanent supportive housing.
