Villa of Hope

““I ended up at the Villa. When I got to the Villa School, it was eye-opening, because I realized how good a school could really be. I had never had that before. And they saved me from a very dangerous path. Honestly, if it wasn’t for the Villa, I’d probably no longer be alive today.””

““Villa of Hope changed my life. It was the piece missing that put me back together. And made me whole.””

““I have my life back. Now I’m an amazing Mom, a daughter, a sister, and a functioning member of society. I’m trustworthy again. The Villa’s outpatient program is what worked for me, because it put me right in the middle of my support network: my family. It was the perfect combination for me to get my life back, and all that I’ve accomplished since has been so rewarding. I am so grateful.”

““The first time I met with Kim Sadwick at the Villa Behavioral Health Clinic, I told her I didn’t think I’d ever be free of my addiction to opiates,” says Sabrina, “but she sat me down and said firmly, ‘Yes you will.'””

“I immediately walked in and saw the amount of support that was given to each child and knew that is what I needed.”

““The people I’ve worked with at the Villa are patient and polite,” Naomi says, “and they have motivated me to become who I am now. They always tell me to take my time, and that I’m doing a great job. “I would recommend the Villa to anyone!””

““The Villa has always been 100% behind me,” Naomi says. “They’re a supportive system, the pat on the back for me when I most needed it. They’re my second family.””

““I was not afraid anymore,” she says, “and they simplified problems into steps I could accomplish at my own pace.””

“You have created one of the greatest resources for the community at large, and for students in desperate need for a place to learn and grow! You are changing lives every day, with a tremendous and dedicated staff like nowhere else! It goes to show that a team of dedicated teachers guided by outstanding leadership can perform miracles!”

“That’s what our church and the Villa of Hope School did for my son. I call it Saving Jeff . . . .”

“If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.”

““The Villa helped me get to where I am today. If it wasn’t for them, I don’t know where I’d be.””

“Villa of Hope has helped me get back to life and hope. They’ve given me lots of ideas and encouraged me to work toward my goal. I’m a different person today, and a better person, because of the Villa.”
