At the end of his rope, Dave reached out for help again, entering a Network of Hope recovery home for the second time. One step at a time, he followed the guidance of the leaders and his life has since changed drastically. No longer relying on alcohol to deal with pain, Dave gained a positive outlook about his life and its purpose.

Today, Dave is peaceful and brings order to the settings and people around him.  His kind smile can be seen as he helps with church maintenance and drums in the church band. Dave is now the Network of Hope recovery home leader in Braddock, PA, showing other men that lasting change is possible—one step at a time.

Instead, Cindy remarks, “I did not know why the manager was so kind to me. But I knew that there was something different about these people. I got a lot more than just food during the several months that I frequented the Food Bank.”

One step at a time, Cindy began to regain what she had been lacking for nearly 30 years – hope. “The Food Bank workers didn’t know me, but they accepted me, saw value in me, and took me under their wing….I’m so grateful for Network of Hope.”

When she came to the Network of Hope Women’s Home, Julia was desperate and hurting. A life filled with pain, drugs, promiscuity and abuse had left her empty and hopeless. But one step at a time, Julia recovered with the help of Network of Hope’s local volunteers and programs.

Today, Julia enthusiastically and skillfully embraces her role as Women’s Home Coordinator, a platform through which she helps hurting women experience the hope that changed her life. Julia is able to speak to hurting women not just as one who understands the principles of personal transformation, but as one who was changed by them—one step at a time.
