Dalton's Story

Dalton arrived at Panama City Rescue Mission in June 2025 seeking stability after rehab, but soon faced an unexpected setback when a missed communication with a former Probation Officer led to a warrant and his arrest on the way to work. With support from his Case Worker, Program Manager, and the Bay County Sheriff's Department, he was released on his own recognizance and determined to fulfill every obligation, continuing his faith journey through Most Excellent Way at First Baptist Church. When PCRM staff advocated for him in court, the judge recognized his progress, declared it "Dalton's Freedom Day," and led the courtroom in applause. Today, Dalton has full-time employment at First Baptist Church, his own vehicle, and his own apartment, a powerful testament to perseverance, faith, and the life-changing support of PCRM.
