B B McGowan is one person who knows what it feels to be homeless due to his addiction to alcohol which he was able to kick the habit when he went to work with the Oak Lawn Methodist Church in Dallas Texas.
B. B. is now sober and he wants to repay the church where he found a way to beat his addiction to alcohol by driving around the metroplex area in his van during the frigid cold weather to find homeless persons who need a place to stay.
B. B. takes the homeless people that he finds to the Oak Lawn Methodist Church to spend some time away from the cold streets at night as a way of thanking the church for assisting him to get back on his feet.
It is nice to see a former homeless man assist the homeless find a shelter during this cold winter.

@amitkokiladitya That is true since he is living proof that getting a helping hand from a church turned his life around to assist other homeless people to turn their lives around.

It is nice to see good stories of homeless persons who have assisted others get their life back on track. Something the media does not show on their news reports.
