"My mom lives at Rea of Hope and I get to see her whenever I want. She always comes when she says she will now."

"While in Foster care I remember praying to get my momma back; Rea of Hope has given us a life together for 7 years and counting."

"I used to live in fear that I would never see my mom again; I have seen my mom transform into a good mom and person. 11 years and counting."

"When I first came to Rea of Hope I had not had a job in 2 years, I was homeless and living on the street; within 10 months I was executive staff at a local hotel, in a position that allowed me to hire new Rea residents."

"I'm not living in fear anymore and I'm doing the next right thing. Working on building a relationship with my higher power. I am working the steps and attribute my new sober life to my time at the Rea of Hope. I have been taught a work ethic and a new way of life."

"I came to the Rea of Hope with no concept of self-worth. My time here has taught me that I am important, and my needs matter just as much as everyone else's. I am eternally grateful to the women of this program for teaching me how to value myself. I no longer need to hide from the world and blur my pain with drugs and alcohol."
