Bringing hope and experience
"I have survived crystal meth addiction, homelessness, and suicide attempts. I have come from a jail cell into City Hall. As a 911 first responder, I am still on the streets and under the bridges where I lived in the midst of my addiction, but today I go back to help others find their way out of the darkness." - David
