That
evening John goes to a shelter and hears about Chimorel
again. He gets angry, blows up, hits someone and is
taken to jail. That night John begins to think. He
isn’t drunk this time. John asks himself why
he is in jail. He had a phone call, so he calls the
friend who comes down to get him when he is released.
John goes to the friend’s house, works out the
details and calls the people on the list. This time
he is serious.
One person
advanced him $50 for doing yard work and picks him
up at the shelter. A second person advances John $50
for his commitment to Volunteer five hours to work
for Chimorel. John went back to the recycling center
and does his work. He continues to work for 50 hours.
He attends a goal setting session where he learns
about Chimorel's work for rent program.
