Turning Life Around

April 17, 2017
Sometimes Joseph goes a month and a half without seeing his kids, ages three years old and one year old, because he does not have reliable transportation. He pays a coworker $20 a week to get a ride to work and to get a ride home. The money adds up quickly and his separation from his children is hard on him.
Joseph just recently graduated from Helping Up Mission, an addiction treatment center in Baltimore Maryland, where he was in their one-year program. It has been difficult for him to get to doctor’s visits; he says he “can’t get anything done without relying on someone else.”

With the help of Vehicles for Change’s car recipient award program Joseph will be able to visit his young children at least once a week. He will be able to easily attend Narcotics Anonymous meetings and looks forward to taking his kids on fun outings.
