Louie once arrived at Step Denver with nothing but 45 days sober and guidance that he’d have to want to change. He did — and he completed the program in 2024.
Two years later, 924 days sober, he called to set up a monthly gift. His reason is simple: he wants men in Colorado Springs to have the same chance he did.
Each week, residents in orientation - their first five days in the program - hear the message Louie included with his gift:
"I’m happy knowing there’s a program for helping those who want to truly change. Something I heard once, 'I’m not going to push your car for you, but if I see you pushing your car by yourself, I’ll go out of my way to help you.' That’s what Step represents to me."
It's amazing that our residents get to see that there are complete strangers in the community that believe in them and support them - and they get to hear their words of encouragement right as they begin to get into a routine, look for jobs, and start to rebuild their lives.
