When Ashley arrived at Gateway, her addiction had taken nearly everything from her. Unhoused after 81 days in jail and three months pregnant, the court offered her treatment at Gateway in lieu of conviction. Ashley arrived at Gateway lost and scared with only the clothes on her back.

Ashley participated in the LSFHealthSystems Pregnant and Postpartum Women (PPW) program while in treatment. Thanks to LSF’s support, she received case management, medical services, and supervised room and board. As a result, she realized she could keep her baby and raise it in a stable environment. “Gateway provided me with everything I needed,” Ashley says. “I realized I could give my baby a better life than I had.”

Ashley worked Gateway’s recovery program with incredible dedication and commitment. Today, she is 13 months clean and sober. She works two jobs, one of which involves supporting pre- and post-incarcerated women. She leads multiple recovery support groups at Gateway, showing other women how she recovered, teaching life skills, and offering unparalleled support and guidance. As someone who has been through the depths of addiction, Ashley is uniquely qualified to help other Gateway patients on their recovery journeys. And her 6-month-old daughter, Oakley, is happy and healthy. She attends Gateway’s Kids’ Success Center during the day and lives with her mom at Gateway’s LSF-funded transitional housing.

“There was a time when my family never talked to me, but now I talk to them for hours every day,” Ashley says. “I love it here [at Gateway]. And I love being able to give back what was so freely given to me.”

🧡 Pause before problem-solving.
When someone shares something heavy, your first job isn’t to fix it. It’s to understand it.
Try responding with: “That sounds really difficult. Do you want to tell me more?”
Listening first builds trust and lowers defensiveness.

Thank you to Hesus from Teen Challenge Southeast Region - Jacksonville Men's Center for showing and educating us on the fantastic things you are doing for the people in our community. We are grateful to community partners who consistently provide support to those who need it most.

We were honored to have Cameron from Gateway Community Services come tour our program today!

Gateway has faithfully served our community since 1970, and they’ve been such a blessing to many of our guys who need a safe place to detox before stepping into our program. Partnerships like this are so important because recovery truly takes a community.

We’re grateful for Cameron taking the time to visit, learn more about what God is doing here, and continue building a strong relationship between our ministries. Thankful for Gateway and all they do to help people take their first steps toward freedom and restoration 🙌
