Meet our friend, Ms. P - Metro Relief

LOST AND FOUND

Meet our friend, Ms. P

I was lost. I was living in a park in Plano. I went to the Good Samaritan in Garland and all of a sudden, they said wait on this big bus. And then I met Kylie, and she got me my birth certificate and social and she hooked me up with a man named Andrew at the Salvation Army last year. Andrew got me an apartment and I've been there ever since.

I've been on my job; I've made a supervisor for training now and I'm just so happy. My year will be up in February, thanks to Metro Relief and every shelter I've been to. Metro Relief and Kylie are miracles, this place is a miracle worker! And thanks to God and to all of you for what you do, Ms. P is happy and I’m a supervisor training people now. Look at God.”

I'M READY

Meet our friend, Pepe

In 2020 in the midst of the pandemic, Pepe lost 4 brothers and sisters and was suddenly the Patriarch of the family. He ensured that all his nieces and nephews were taken care of and looked after. It all became too much and Pepe checked out of life and ended up on the streets. As you can imagine, it hasn't been easy. To compound the difficulties of being on the street, he lost a leg to diabetes. He hasn't let this dampen his spirits or hold him back. He has been in Plano since 2022 and Metro Relief met him in early 2025. He is ready for change and motivated to make his comeback. We have gotten him all of his vital documents and he is currently on the housing list. Pepe says that when he gets off the streets, he wants to become a bilingual 9-1-1 operator in Plano. He wants to give back to the community who has helped watch out and take care of him over the years.
