My Story
We first met Eric at Violet Keepsafe Storage, a transition storage service that helps people experiencing homelessness keep their possessions safe while navigating their way around the community and out of homelessness.
Eric has been homeless on and off for 20 years since his parents passed away. Coming from a loving family, Eric’s life was “perfect” until his parents passed and he turned to marijuana and cocaine as a way to cope with his loss. He’s been clean since November 18, 2020 and says that there IS NO WAY he is turning back to that life again, he just wants another chance.
He has 2 adult daughters who are headed down the same path as him and he decided to turn his life around and lead by example. He says can’t wait for the day he can visit his grandchildren, pull up to their driveway, give them a big hug & kiss and take them to Disneyland.
“It’s time for me to be a man”, says Eric.
