A few weeks ago a young woman came by Tompkins Square Park
in desperate need of help.
“Do you guys know of any housing or shelter options?” she asked.
“Sure! I can give you
a listing of different places that may be able to help.” I said.
As we spoke further, her story unfolded. She had been staying in a shelter with her
boyfriend who was abusive. Thankfully
she was able to get out of there but it’s left her in a tough position. She’s even afraid that he’ll come after
her.
After talking over different options, I asked if she would
like prayer.
“Yes, please!”
She was very grateful and even shared how she grew up
Catholic and believed in the power of prayer.
“Thank you for listening.
You have no idea how much it meant to me just to have someone to talk
with.”
