When faced with the daunting task of raising her seven-year-old grandchild after her parents' struggles with drug abuse, Beth found herself overwhelmed and uncertain of where to seek help. As her grandchild entered her teenage years, the child herself struggled emotionally.

Overwhelmed with these challenges, Beth did not know where to turn or who to talk to. Fortunately, the school counselor recognized Beth's need for assistance and connected her with Angel Reach. There, Beth and her granddaughter received resources that included access to a food pantry, clothing, counseling, tutoring, caregiver support groups, and a staff who listened.

Her feelings of isolation were overcome through the emotional support and empathy she received at Angel Reach. Her feelings of despair turned into courage with such an incredible team to help.

Robbie spent the first part of his childhood in the foster care system.  At eleven years old, he was adopted by an adoptive family that was impoverished and unable to give him the support and guidance he needed.

Robbie found himself confused, alone, and very scared. He began experimenting with drugs, fell into the wrong company, and dropped out of school, feeling rejected and hopeless. Robbie then was guided to Angel Reach. With Angel Reach’s support, he received counseling for his substance abuse and developed a healthy self-esteem.

He worked diligently with a tutor and passed all his GED tests. He has maintained his sobriety, holds steady employment, and established his own goals and vision for his future. Robbie has developed a strong belief in his capabilities and self-worth, realizing that he can achieve far more than he once thought possible.
