DURHAM, North Carolina (WTVD) — There are many happy graduation moments at this time of year, and those who turned their tassels at the Durham Rescue Mission really have a reason to celebrate. The ceremony Tuesday morning affirmed their triumph over personal struggles and homelessness.
Iris Bumpass, a graduate of the mission’s Victory Program said, “It’s amazing that I’ve made it this far. I mean, at one point I was thinking I’m just going to give up. But you know, God just put in me to keep pushing, keep pressing, keep moving on. You can do this.”
