Before arriving at Florence Crittenton I was a mess and had made a lot of really bad choices.  I was sixteen, a runaway, sleeping on the streets, on probation, refusing mental health treatment, using drugs, not attending school, not eating well and was abused by men.  Then I became pregnant.

Florence Crittenton saved my life.  I am clean of drugs, receiving therapy, volunteering, working at a local bakery, learning to be a really good mom and now I want to start studying for a Bachelor’s degree.  I have the most beautiful baby boy you have ever laid eyes on and he is safe and happy.

Jessica has been at Florence Crittenton for 7 months.  She will continue to heal in our program for a further 8-12 months.  In Jessica’s mothers words, “I cannot thank Florence Crittenton enough.  Nor could I say what an outstanding group program this is.  I am forever indebted.”
