We Found One of Our Own Unresponsive

What’s up everyone, It’s Jordan.

We’re still serving and doing everything we can to show up for people. Some days are light—it feels like we’re just hanging out with friends, laughing, building real relationships with people we care about. Those days are good. Easy, even.

And then there are days like the one we had a couple weeks ago.

That morning, a couple of our staff found one of our regulars behind the building. Unresponsive. They jumped in immediately—CPR, mouth-to-mouth—doing everything they could. By the time the ambulance took him, he was responsive again. He had been out there all night, and that’s the part that still sits heavy.

He’s not just someone who stops by. He’s someone we know. Someone we see every day. Someone we care about. Moments like that don’t just pass—they stay with you. They remind you how real this is.

You never know what you’re walking into when you open these doors. Some days are full of life, and some are full of loss—sometimes both at once.

That day was a heavy one. The team felt it. I still feel it.

But this is the reality of Sox Place—being here not just for the good moments, but the hard ones too. To sit in it with people and keep showing up anyway.

Some days are awesome. Some days are heavier.

And sometimes, those days stay with you longer than you expect.

With gratitude,

Jordan Robinson
Executive Director, Sox Place
