Meet Opportunity House Senior Resident Patrick
When and why did you originally come to Opportunity House? After unexpected losing his wife, I lost his apartment and had no place to go.
What motivated you to make changes in your life? A desire to be healthy. I wanted to be relaxed.
How did you feel when you found permanent housing? It felt good. I loved every minute of it.
How has staying connected to Opportunity House helped you with your goals? I got me pretty far. I like helping in the kitchen, doing dishes and serving meals to clients. I like to help others and then come home and relax.
