Karen Harris - Executive Director Kim was my sister. I watched how her life changed physically and spiritually as the disease of addiction took its toll. When I got clean ( Nov, 26 will be 11 years) I remember wondering what my purpose was. Why was my life spared while those around me were dying. Why did I receive the "gift" of recovery when so many others had tried and failed? Certainly they wanted it as badly as I had. Since that time, I've been fortunate enough to work with adult and teen addicts, but I've always wanted to do more. It has been a dream of mine to work with women in particular as their population really seems to be underserved. Now with the help of friends, the right set of circumstances, and God's grace and mercy this dream has become a reality. I was taught by many before me that no addict need die from the horrors of addiction. I pray to God that he allows our efforts to make a difference in the lives of many ~Karen
