Testimonials
“Recovery is achievable!”
I was outside with nowhere to go. Teresa helped me find shelter and a warm place to sleep. She handled my referrals and supported me through recovery. Thanks to her dedication, I’ve been clean for six months and finally have housing. It feels great! Recovery is achievable!
