At the young age of 11, she was a runaway and obviously a part of all the things which come with life on the streets and no parental encouragement or attention. She was sexually active at the age of 11 and realized she was following in her mothers footsteps.
Despite watching her mother struggled with prostitution and a life of addiction as well, she was lured into the lifestyle and no hope from there. After many grueling years of jails, institutions, and near death she finally decided to make a change.
Now she is active in the recovery community, owns sober living properties, and throughout her recovery has visited those same women she knew on the streets in attempts to simply provide Hope!
HopePoint was inspired out of volunteering with other organizations such as Amethyst, Catch Court, Salvation Army, etc..She noticed these women, who she had a passion to assist in the transition from those locations to the outside world, had no support. From her passion to help women, she decided to be the catalyst which may bridge the gap during that difficult transition time.
