Brandy’s Story of Recovery

“Hi, my name Brandy and I am a graduate of Santa Maria Hostel. I was introduced to Santa Maria on August 6, 2012 through their Path to Recovery/Recovery Support Services program. Since coming to Santa Maria I have completed two 90-day programs and participated in GED Fast Track. I now live at Santa Maria in their HUD housing program and my two kids, Des’Riunnah and La’Troy, have been returned to my care. This program has brought nothing but success into my life. I am very grateful for everything Santa Maria has offered me. I am now on my way to making wise decisions that are going to take me a long way in life. I am now waiting for permanent housing and going to school to be a Forklift Operator. I now put recovery first and follow suggestions that my Recovery Coach offers. Big thanks to all the Counselors and Staff at Santa Maria for changing my life.”
