I grew up in a broken home. My mom left when I was young, and my dad was on drugs. I went back and forth from my dads to my grandparents’ house. When I was 12 years old, I began smoking weed, cigarettes, and drinking. In my early 20’s I started to use cocaine for fun, and it gradually increased into numbing the feelings and to escape my responsibilities. My dad completed the Teen Challenge program. It changed his life. My pastor and dad encouraged me to come here to the Home of Hope. I hope to attain a closer relationship with God, putting all my wants aside and only focus on him.
