Michael is homeless in Traverse City, Michigan. After Michael’s five-year-old son had died, he lost everything and crashed into homelessness.

Michael has been sleeping outside for over ten years now. He says he finds work when he can, but finding a place to stay is hard.

Listening to Michael share his story is heartbreaking. You can feel his pain! Relationships play a significant role in the cause homelessness. When someone goes through trauma, we need to be there to provide support.
