Ana Maria and her baby arrived at New Hope urgently in need of a fresh start.

Thanks to New Hope for Families, Robert and Sandra and their children have a home for the holidays this year.

Fortunately, Justin and Kristie found their way to New Hope. And six years later, their family is thriving.

The Preston family was able to develop healthy routines while at New Hope and shut down addictions that put their lives–and the lives of their four children–into a tail-spin.

Alyssa, Justin, and their two young children lived on the edge, squeaking by each month on two minimum wage jobs and food stamps.

"We were devastated when we had to move to New Hope; I didn't want any part of it. But we have a healthier family now. It changed our lives in ways that are difficult to express."
