Meet Mike E
A carpenter, plumber, contractor and all-around handyman who lived in his truck for years. He became stranded in Gresham when someone stole his truck with his literal tools of his trade, worth thousands of dollars. He now lives at Pastor Steve’s house, getting a job when he can and improving the hundred year old property whenever Steve can afford the supplies. Always cheerful, he always expects that things will work out. He is currently working at Peace Mennonite Church, rebuilding about a quarter of their walls after pipes burst during the recent Portland freeze.
