Graduate Stories
Charlotte
I need to start by saying I gave my life over to the Lord almost a year and a half ago. So I'm thankful for having a clear and open mind to see he's been watching over me all this time.
One of the best blessing from God is he brought me to the Esplande House in April 2007. I came here not being the nicest person to get along with. I was angry most of the time. But fortunately, the awesome staff that works here was patient and wanted to help me work through my issues. I can say I was not an easy client, neighbor, or friend to get along with. But things started changing for me.
I began to realize for the first time in my life I was somewhere I felt safe, stable, and structured. The classes and group meetings helped me to become productive and self-sufficient.
I traveled out of state to see my children for the first time in four years. I graduated from Touchstone and paid off $3,000 in fines to get my license back and I have a car now. I've moved to Phase II and I quit smoking eight months ago. I am gainfully employed at Enloe Hospital.
I'm moving forward on the road to complete self-sufficiency. First and foremost; because of God's guidance, and bringing me to the Esplanade House. This is such a great program as I've received all the support and care I needed. Thanks for helping me be a better mother to my son.
With Love,
Charlotte
