Story About Sobriety and Helping Us Secure a Home

Hello! My name is Christina. I am living proof that you CAN get clean and turn your life around!!! I was strung out on hard drugs and homeless for around 4 years in my early twenties. During that time I had my first child taken from me, attempted multiple times to remove myself from this world, and ultimately landed myself in jail. I was headed down the same exact path with my second child, and then I felt it. I couldn't take it anymore. I couldn't take the depression. I couldn't take the environment I chose to be around. I HAD to do something different. I hated waking up in the same stressful life, surrounded by "friends" that didn't have my best interest at heart. I hated not knowing what was wrong with me or why I couldn't have the life I dreamed of. I hated not having a relationship with my family because of my choices. I hated myself every single day for letting my baby go. I'll never forget those tears I cried just to be able to call her mine again.

Over these last seven years of my life, I have relentlessly worked on myself both mentally and spiritually. I have mended my relationships with old friends that were waiting on me to get better and I received the gift of building a strong relationship with my dad. Everything just fell into place when I started living how I was always supposed to.

So now I am looking for a forever home to pass down to these amazing children when I get my wings and leave this earth. I am already pre approved and I'm looking for that little boost to get us going.



I want anyone reading this to know you CAN change. You CAN do better. Change is supposed to feel scary!!!


If you are able to donate and share my story with someone that might need to hear it, I would absolutely love that.
