“Thanks to Townspeople I no longer have the fear of feeling that I can’t accomplish anything in life.”

“To all the staff at Townspeople: I would like to state how much you Guys have given me. Upon coming to townspeople I had no idea of how my life would turn out. I knew that I wanted something good for myself and I wanted to feel free and independent. When I came into Townspeople’s office for the first time after getting on their waiting list I was patiently told by my case manager to report to Impact program which allowed me to get my place at Townspeople. I moved in within a month later.

After moving in to the apartment, I was able to experience the respect of having my own place after living under someone else’s place for so long. Townspeople has given me my life back. I was able to become a great Mother to my son and watch him grow and make it through his obstacles and struggles. I was able to stand firm and accomplish my goal. I graduated with my associate’s degree and got my Teacher’s license. I worked part time at San Diego City College as a teacher’s assistant. I lived on Townspeople’s property for five years and I highly thank them for allowing me to become a great success story. My Life today has allowed me to grow and become independent. Thanks to Townspeople I no longer have the fear of feeling that I can’t accomplish anything in life.

I received all that I could from Townspeople and realized it was time for me to move on. I now have a new place that I love so much. I have 9 years clean and sober. I work hard on a daily basis to maintain my recovery no matter what. Today I volunteer at Townspeople and I give back to the community, which was so freely given to me. Thank you Townspeople.”
