“I was released from prison with nothing but a bag and fear of the unknown. I didn’t think I deserved a second chance, but The Center saw something in me that I couldn’t see in myself.
Wilson M.
When I got out, I felt like I had no purpose. I was just surviving day to day, bouncing from place to place, trying to stay clean and stay out of trouble. I heard about The Center from a guy I met in a halfway house, and showing up was the best decision I ever made.
