STORY TELLERS
Steve Zuehsldorff is a 60 year old male who became homeless after high school. Steve didn’t think at the time he had become homeless; nor that it was a problem to be living on the streets and in his car. As his life began spiraling downward, Steve began to realize that he was an alcoholic. He had a job but didn’t make enough money to pay his rent, so he lived on the streets. Today, ten years later Steve is living at the Center of Hope. He is sober and is trying to find work. He loved to read as a child and still enjoys reading as an adult. He believes his love of reading was the main reason he scored 1500+ on his SAT in high school. He was a child of promise; who wasn’t ready to go to college and didn’t have a goal for his future. No longer homeless, Steve can now smile and say “that even though he didn’t go to college he has a major in homelessness”. This helps Steve inspire those who are in desperate times find hope out of homelessness.
