Ricky shares how he landed a full-time warehouse job while navigating homelessness in Denver. He describes working in assembly and shipping for a diesel parts company, learning all the roles so he can be placed anywhere. His honesty during the job interview—including telling the hiring manager that he was homeless—led to an unexpected connection. She not only hired him on the spot but later told him it was his spirit and energy that compelled her to give him a chance.
He talks about faith, humility, and the lessons learned from losing housing in the past due to pride. He’s now on a steady path forward, planning to secure stable housing with help from Urban Peak and his church. Despite making progress, he reflects on how easily those gains can be lost if they’re taken for granted. Gratitude, community, and personal accountability are at the heart of his mindset shift.
