TESTIMONIALS

Who can calculate the value of a human life? In the early part of this year I believed I could place a value on my own. In my estimation mine was not a life worth saving. Drugs and alcohol had ravaged my career, my family, my self-esteem, my entire existence.

I am a 45-year-old college-educated professional. My addiction took me a progressively downward spiral to the point that I did not care whether I lived or died. In fact, the latter seemed like a better option.

Enter New Life for Women. They took a broken, homeless woman with a crippling addiction to drugs and alcohol and gave me an opportunity to rebuild my life. They gave me this opportunity through education about my disease, counseling with tireless addiction professionals who have genuine love for every client and helping me to realize there is a better way to live. And it didn’t stop there. I am a special needs client of sorts with a medical need that must be met daily in order for me to function. Many times when faced with little or no funds to meet this need on my own, staff members of New Life for Women reached into their own pockets to make sure I had the supplies I desperately needed. I can tell you that this kind of love, compassion and care is unmatched.

I am now gainfully employed, learning once again how to be responsible for myself and doing what my counselors at New Life tell me to do to keep my disease of addiction at bay.

Mere words on paper cannot give proper measure to what New Life for Women has done in my life now and in the countless lives of the other women who have been blessed enough to pass through New Life’s doors.
