Tyler’s addiction began quietly. What started with small compromises eventually spiraled into a full op**te dependency that cost him his marriage, his stability, and nearly his future. When everything collapsed, he came to Adult and Teen Challenge, where God restored his life and set him on a solid foundation.

Morgan’s journey was marked by trauma, homelessness, and years of addiction. At her lowest moment, ready to give up, she felt God whisper that her life still had purpose. She came to the Southern New England Women’s Home and found healing, freedom, and hope she never thought possible.

Today, Tyler and Morgan are married, sober, serving at Adult and Teen Challenge, and building a life rooted in faith, stability, and purpose. Their story is living proof that God can redeem the deepest brokenness.

Our Dollar a Day campaign helps make transformations like theirs possible. Just one dollar a day provides the long-term, Christ-centered care that leads to lasting change.

Eric’s addiction began in high school and slowly escalated from weekend drinking to daily pills, then he**in. His life unraveled through arrests, overdoses, and the heartbreak of watching friends die from the same choices he was making. In 2016 he walked through the doors of Adult & Teen Challenge, surrendered his life to God, and everything changed. He rebuilt his faith, found purpose, and eventually joined our staff, serving with the gifts God restored in him. In addition to being the head of IT & Graphics, Eric enjoys helps ministries and Christian artists with their media production.

Sara’s journey was marked by trauma, abuse, addiction, and deep pain. Years of searching for relief led her into dangerous relationships and he**in use that nearly took her life. After being freed from an abusive situation, she entered Adult & Teen Challenge in 2015. There she encountered God’s love, found healing from her past, earned her GED, and rebuilt her life on a foundation of hope. She is a director of a program overseeing the care of adults with disabilities.

Today, Eric and Sara are married, sober, thriving, and serving others with compassion. Their story is living proof that no life is too broken for God to restore.

Mike’s addiction began early. By the time he was in high school he was buying pills at school, eventually turning to he**in. His life spiraled quickly. Within a year of graduation, he was running drugs across state lines and committing robberies to feed his addiction. Eventually he was arrested and charged with 14 felonies, facing mandatory prison time.

With nowhere else to turn, Mike walked through the doors of Adult and Teen Challenge in 2004. There he encountered something he had never experienced before: real accountability, genuine love, and the truth of the gospel. In a December chapel service, the reality of Jesus’ sacrifice broke through his hardened heart, and everything changed.

The transformation was unmistakable. Mike devoted himself to prayer, Scripture, and serving others. Miraculously, the judge assigned to his case reduced his expected sentence from decades in prison to probation, a turning point that allowed him to rebuild his life.

In 2006, Mike’s mother Josephine came into the program. She had been struggling with crippling alcoholism for nearly 30 years. While it was the hardest thing she ever had to do, Josephine graduated the program. Their strained relationship was completely restored.

Today, Mike and Josephine are living proof of God’s restoring power. He worked for Adult and Teen Challenge for years, built a family, bought a home, and now uses his gifts to serve, encourage, and bring hope to others through Christian comedy.

Stories like Mike & Josephine’s are why our Dollar-a-Day campaign matters. One dollar a day helps men and women trapped in addiction find the same hope, freedom, and new beginning that changed his life forever.

Alex was only a teenager when he started experimenting with alcohol. In spite of knowing God’s call on his life, he started to drink more and more. By his early twenties, drinking was no longer something he chose.

In 2019, Alex walked through the doors of Adult and Teen Challenge, determined to stop running from the Lord. In the middle of his brokenness, God met him and changed everything.

Today, Alex serves as the youth leader at Pembroke Assembly of God, investing in young people who are facing the same pressures and temptations he once did. His story is a reminder that freedom is possible and that transformation reaches far beyond our residents.

Our Dollar-a-Day campaign continues to make stories like Alex’s possible. When friends like you come alongside us with just one dollar a day, you help provide the long-term discipleship, structure, and Christ-centered care that lead to lasting freedom. If you believe in giving hope, consider joining us. Your support helps change the trajectory of lives every single day.

What an awesome Thursday night chapel service with Pastor David Piers from Covered Bridge Ministries! He shared a powerful message with us on our true identity in Christ and the importance of meditating on God‘s word day and night as His Word tells us in Psalm 1. He also touched on breaking down strongholds in our lives. Thank you, sir! It was an honor having you join us on the Holy Hill and we look forward to the next time! Glory to God!
