As a recovering addict who has battled meth and fentanyl addiction since the age of 25, I have faced numerous challenges and overdoses throughout my journey. My boyfriend, Matt, and I have struggled together on the path to recovery, enduring homelessness on the streets outside St. Louis-even in the freezing cold of winter. Had it not been for the amazing people who encouraged and supported us, we could still be on the streets or even dead. I believe God has kept me here for a purpose, and my mission is to share my experiences to help others on their path to recovery. By sharing my story, I hope to inspire and support those navigating similar struggles, guiding them toward healing and hope.
