Andrew’s Journey of Transformation

Andrew’s journey is one of healing, resilience, and hope. After years of battling heroin addiction, schizophrenia, and severe anxiety, he came to Seattle seeking recovery.
Turned away from one program after a seizure, he found Immanuel Community Services (ICS), a compassionate, respectful community that helped him regain stability and purpose.
Now more than 18 months sober, his health has improved, he has stable housing, and he’s employed with Catholic Community Services to help others in recovery. Grateful for ICS, Andrew says,
“I’d probably be dead, but instead, I’ll be able to help people. This is what God made me for.”
Did you know Washington state employees can give directly to ICS through the Washington Combined Fund Drive?

Assumed a little less,
Tried to feel what they feel?
What if we opened our hearts a little more
And asked ourselves, what if, what if this was me?
‘Cause they are just like you and me,
Trying to find a way to be in this world
And live in peace.
Is that a crime?”
Music & Lyrics by Naomi Wachira
ICS strives to create a Community of Hope and save lives by making sure people have the basics that every human being needs: a warm welcome, nutritious food, a place to take a shower & use a restroom…and a place to sleep.
