Janice found self-worth and recovery!

Janice was addicted to drugs when she first visited Mary’s Place, and thought she had found an easier way to keep living on the streets. But after the staff made it clear they expected more from her, Janice discovered Mary’s Place was there to support her – but not enable her.

Since receiving help with her addiction, Janice has emerged as a volunteer leader at Mary’s Place, regularly managing the front desk. She feels pride, purpose and respect, and believes “you can do better when you know better.” Janice has been clean and sober for five years.

Thank you for helping Janice find respect and self-worth.
