James’ Story

YOU GAVE JAMES A FUTURE FULL OF HOPE.

“When I was homeless, my mind was everywhere— I was depressed.”

Army Veteran James Tarrance was living out of his car, grieving the loss of his wife, and raising two young daughters with no hope in sight. Feeling like no one could help him, he believed his struggles were his alone.

“I didn’t think there was any help for me.”

But then he discovered the life-changing programs of Volunteers of America Michigan. Now, James and his daughters have a stable home, a bright future, and hope for tomorrow. James shares his deep gratitude: “Volunteers of America Michigan, Hallelujah for you, thank you— I appreciate you… they literally saved my life in every aspect of the word.”

Watch his powerful story and see how support from programs like ours can make all the difference. Your generosity helps us change lives.
