Russell Recovery Sober Living

A few of our women from Russell Recovery got to spend the day at Second Story Ranch hanging out with other women in recovery and loving on some horses. 🐎

We’re so grateful to Second Story Ranch and the Recovery Community Center of Joliet for giving our ladies this opportunity. Days like this are so important — getting out, connecting with others in recovery, and just enjoying some peace and fresh air.

We appreciate you guys so much and are thankful to be part of such an amazing recovery community. 💜

This home is going to be a safe, supportive space for women rebuilding their lives — and we can’t wait to open the doors.

We’re almost ready, but we still need a few items to help get the house fully set up:

• Floor lamps
• Upright dressers
• Night stands
• Coffee pot
• Paper towel holder
• Bar stools
• Baking sheets
• Can opener
• Bowls
• Dish towels
• Pot holders

✨ Opening Another Russell Recovery Sober Living Home ✨

Getting furniture has been such a struggle for Adam and I. It takes so much time and money to fully furnish a sober living house, but every single item makes a difference in creating a safe, welcoming home for those in recovery.

We’re excited to share that we’ll be opening another Russell Recovery Sober Living house next month! 🙌 With that comes the big task of filling it with everything from couches and beds to dishes and towels.

We will soon be posting the full list of items needed. My dream is to find a donor who could furnish the whole house—but once again, we are reaching out to our amazing community for help. 💙

Every item donated helps us create a home where people can heal, rebuild, and thrive. If you or someone you know would like to donate furniture, household goods, or even sponsor part of the setup, please reach out. Together, we can make this new home a place of hope and second chances.

🙏 Thank you for your continued support—none of this would be possible without our community.
