It wasn’t until last year she was ready to get clean. “I just hit a spiritual low that I was willing and desperate to do whatever was suggested to me through the mentor program,” she said. “They gave me a safe place to stay.

She completed the 80 hours of volunteer work, like packing boxes of food for families in need, landscaping at Portland parks, and assisting at the Ronald McDonald House.
