In this moving episode of The Hope Connection, we meet Stephan, a creative and resilient individual who found himself at Haven for Hope after a series of painful and life-changing events. Stephan shares openly about the heartbreak of losing his housing, being separated from his wife, and being arrested while trying to hold onto the last pieces of his life—including his music equipment and creative dreams. Despite these setbacks, Stephan is finding hope, healing, and stability through the supportive services at Haven.Since arriving, Stephan has received new glasses, dental care, and—perhaps most importantly—help securing essential documents like his social security card and ID, which had previously felt out of reach because he was born in Germany. These steps are helping him rebuild with dignity and determination. Through it all, Stephan stays focused on his goals: restoring his relationship, finding housing, and growing spiritually and emotionally. His story is one of love, faith, and the power of second chances.“This place here is very special to me… Haven helped me get my ID, my glasses, my social security card… Without them, I wouldn’t know what to do.”
