			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.newhopemadera.org/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/istock_000002554748xsmall.jpg" title="Steve full size" alt="Steve full size" align="left" height="204" hspace="5" vspace="5" width="307" />Steve came to New Hope Madera with nothing left.  He said, &#8220;I was at the end of my rope.  I had no money, no job, and I was evicted from my apartment.&#8221;.  That was 6 months ago.</p>
<p>After meeting Steve, we knew we had to help.  We contacted one of our <a href="http://www.newhopemadera.org/employment-development">employment partners</a> and got Steve a job.  He started that position two days later and has been there ever since!</p>
<p>Steve has since been promoted, has his own apartment and has been paying off his financial debts, finishing his community service and is active in his church.</p>
<p>Steve now says, &#8220;I don&#8217;t know where I would be without New Hope Madera.  I would probably be back in jail, or worse.  Brent and New Hope have not only saved my life, but made it worth living.&#8221;</p>
