For more than 20 years, James has called Buckelew home.

Diagnosed with a serious mental illness in his twenties, James spent years cycling in and out of hospitals and struggling to survive. Then James found Buckelew.

Today James live in our Supported Housing program where he receives therapeutic care, plays guitar, and enjoys daily walks. All this is possible because his basic human needs are consistently met — a safe bed, regular meals, and dignity.

This year, our 55th anniversary of compassionate care, we’re celebrating stories like James’.

If you want to help more people like James, donate here www.buckelew.org/givingtuesday or at the link in our bio.
