Member Story: James

Staff was completing a Member survey and learned how James* has benefitted from his time at Hedwig House:

​“James expressed he has been more social since coming to Hedwig House.  He told me that coming here gives him a purpose in life.  Before coming to Hedwig House, he used to sleep all day and now he has something to do and somewhere to go.  James told me that it has also helped him with eating more.  He stated that before coming to Hedwig House, he would eat nothing but take-out every single day (he expressed how this would become very expensive at times) and some days he just wouldn't eat at all. There were nights he just had ice tea for dinner.

James told me that since coming to Hedwig House he has been eating before and after program now that he has learned how to cook from being in the kitchen unit each day.  He said it's not much, but now he knows how to cook little things- even if it’s just macaroni and cheese for dinner.  Since James came to Hedwig House, he doesn't have to go hungry since he has learned how to cook while working in our kitchen.”
