I was a hopeless drug addict who didn't know how to love myself. I went through the program at Mending Hearts 2016. After completing the program I became a peer supervisor part time for 6 months and have moved all the way up to being the Residential Primary Counselor. I am now patiently waiting for a test date so I can become a Licensed Alcohol  Drug Counselor. I never imagined after being a drug addict for 13 plus years that I would be were I'm at now. I love coming to work everyday and working with women who are just like me. By the Grace of God and Mending Hearts I couldn't ask for a better life. I continue to grow in my professional and personal life daily. I know if I can do it anyone can. 

Addiction is a disease that affects millions of women. The Mending Hearts WTBA Walk will lift up women who have faced addiction firsthand or have felt its effects through others. It will be a time to come together, eliminate the stigma of the disease, and build resilience together. The event will raise awareness and funds lifesaving programs that educate and support clients, their families, and those at risk. The event will take place on Saturday, July 23rd at Public Square in Nashville at 5:00 pm.Every dollar donated directly supports programs and services, including:-Additional Programs to meet the needs of our growing client base-Increasing Treatment, providing extensive services to ensure each client is receiving the best chance at recovery-Serving More Women we currently have a waitlist of women seeking our services
