Raymond said “Part of my addiction involved going to prison. I noticed when I got home from prison everyone in my town was in the exact same place as when I left. My motivation to change was I wanted better for myself.”

Nothing can stop this family. They have had an extraordinary year, that was stressful but both positive and negative. They experienced loss, due to a tragic murder in the family and kept close to the Lord as they grieved and faced turbulence within their family circles. Their daughter had Covid 19 and several weeks after recovering, had sudden and unexpected medical needs arise that required emergency surgery. These parents soldiered through these challenges and expressed heartfelt gratitude for staff support during the difficult times. Both parents celebrated 2 years clean and sober, purchased a new vehicle and found out that they are expecting another daughter! Raymond has discharged parole early, found employment and obtained his first driver’s license.

They have shown immense dedication to recovery and have delightful attitudes. This family is on the top of the waitlist for Francis Court III, where they will continue their amazing journeys!!
