A Helping Hand
For over two decades, Reverend Andy Bales has been fighting to raise awareness about a human catastrophe of biblical proportions unfolding in Los Angeles — the nation’s homeless capital — and throughout California and America.
Known and loved for his daily walks on Skid Row to personally greet homeless people outside their tents, Bales’ right leg became infected with a flesh-eating disease in 2016, and doctors amputated the lower half.
Within months of his recovery, the chief executive officer at the Union Rescue Mission, who offered to give his “other leg and more if we could get a roof over everyone’s head,” was on Skid Row again to greet people, though now he has a prosthetic leg.
