Tina works with RealOptions and Street Life Ministries to help women on the streets get the help they need. Tina's life experiences inspired her to help others.

30 year old Gino was once addicted to drugs. He tried many times to get sober but his addiction had too strong a hold on him. Gino got involved with CityTeam, was able to get the help he needed to conquer his addiction, and is now clean from drugs. Today, Gino is employed by CityTeam and is devoting his time and energy to helping others.

A young man once lost to drugs and the streets now redeemed by God and serving the Lord with a heart filled with joy. David was raised with a ton of anger in his heart and fell victim to the streets. David had many brushes with the law and ended up in prison for 10 1/2 years. David reached out to the Lord and has been filled with the Joy of the Lord and is now a new man, married and raising a young boy with his wife seeing God every day. David still battled depression and PTSD from jail but gives it all to the Lord. Please pray for him.

After struggling with addiction for 10 years, Ricky surrendered his life to God and everything changed. Now he has 18 years clean and sober and is the Spiritual Director of our NEW Rehab Program that is being developed, called: “Homeless to Healthy.”

After 20 years of living on the Streets, using methamphetamine, and selling methamphetamine Tom Schramm is clean in sober. In fact, he has 5 years clean and sober. His story is pretty mind blowing and it all comes down to him surrendering his life to God.

Tom oversees men’s outreach at Street Life, and he recently got married to a beautiful soul named Suzie. Tom told me: “it’s never too late for love”.

Ellie was in an abusive relationship for 2 years when she finally decided “I can’t fix him”. Her husband had become a meth addict and was getting worse by the day. So she grabbed her dogs, got in her car, and started driving.

She drove from the East Coast to Santa Barbra, her car got repossessed, and she walked from Santa Barbra to Redwood City. That’s when Deputy Russell Felker of the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Department noticed her, picked her up, and brought her to Street Life.

Shawn, our female outreach coordinator, got to know Ellie, helped her get into a shelter, and started working with Ellie to get her off the streets. A few months later Ellie still has a roof over her head, she landed herself a job, and she told us: “I feel safe”.
