From homeless and addicted to helping others

In 2015, Ken Hutchinson and his brother Zach were a heartwarming holiday story — two men experiencing homelessness who found a guardian angel entirely by chance. A stranger named Christy Hill invited them into her home, where they could shower, do laundry and pick up food for long, cold nights ahead. At the end of their sit-down interview with WCPO, they said they planned to meet with Cincinnati Works in hopes of finding stable jobs that would allow them to leave panhandling behind. And then they disappeared for four years.
