Thank you for making my mom better. I’m grateful for that. W.B. age 10

WV Hillbilly's story -
I came to the Rea of Hope in December of 2005.  I was nervous and didn't know what to think of anything.  After a few days I realized that I wouldn't have it any other way.  "These people really care!  And you couldn't ask for more help and structure. You can have peace with yourself, work, and contribute." A. F.

Rea of Hope has given me the chance to rebuild my life…a life that had been fractured by substance abuse, domestic violence and all sorts of other complicated issues. When I walked through the doors, I was offered the very thing that it’s name symbolizes, hope. I cannot even begin to fully express in words the gratitude I feel in my heart for such a wonderful place.   L.S.                             

Rea of Hope has been a blessing to me. When I came to Rea I did not know if I could stay sober. I had never been able to in the past. I found love and support in a safe environment that I now call home. I have been sober for 6 months now and there is not a doubt in my mind that this would not have been possible without this beautiful place I call home and the women here I consider my family. I have learned to love myself and life again. I have a sponsor that helps me with the 12 steps. I did not have any of these things until Marie let me move in. I thank God every day for my new life, Rea of Hope and Marie.  M.E.
