Kim sees a bright future ahead

Kim1
Dear Cindy, Katelyn, Tom, and Tod,

Kim came to Off the Streets in March 2011 after 11 years on the streets.   She says, “I don’t know what I would do without Off the Streets. I am finally working on myself.”

She just got glasses for the first time – with bifocals.  When she was on the streets, she didn’t care that she couldn’t see much; all she cared about was getting high. Because of Off the Streets, she is learning to live in recovery and learning that she is worth taking care of.  “Next,” she says, “I want to work on my teeth.”

Kim’s goal is to get a place of her own so that her children can stay with her, and she wants to study sociology in school.

Thank you so much Cindy, Katelyn, Tom and Tod for providing Kim an opportunity to better her life and to realize her greatest potential.
