Jorge V.

I was taken at birth by my father in Puerto Rico and sent to an orphanage in New York City. My addiction started at 15 and progressed as time went on. Drugs and alcohol were a major part of my life. The harsh streets and not having not been accepted by others only made worse. I struggled with anger and violent tendencies after a threat on my life. I decided to come to Teen Challenge. I had met two students at the hospital and they convinced me to get closer to the Lord. I’m here to get right with God and live a free life with Jesus as my guide.
