"LORD my God, I called to you for help,
and you healed me...
I’m 55 years old, and I came to Turning Point Men’s Home when I realized I couldn’t keep living the way I had been. I thank God every day for giving me another chance at life.
From a young age, drugs were a part of my story. My mother raised ten children on her own, and without a father in the picture, our home lacked structure and guidance.
I grew up feeling invisible—like no one had time to love me...
That emptiness led me to search for love and meaning through addiction. One drug led to another, and the cycle continued.
Eventually, I reached a breaking point. I was deeply addicted to multiple substances, and I couldn’t see a way out. In my desperation, I cried out to God.
I didn’t realize it at the time, but He heard me.
Despite being trapped in the same destructive lifestyle, trying to make fast money, everything came crashing down. I was arrested and sent to a Federal Detention Center—not in Arizona, where I’d lived all my life—but in California.
