“This is the longest time ever that I have been without drinking.”
When Stephen first joined Breakout — Hope Mission’s year-long addiction recovery program for men — it was the beginning of a beautiful story of transformation and hope.

“As I’ve been able to bring up things that were buried…I’ve experienced a lot of forgiveness.”
This program gave Stephen the chance to build a routine and personal structure — all while working through the deep challenges he has faced in his life. Today, he is sober and full of new life and hope.
“You have no idea how important your gift really is. I know it’s hard to see how the money you give is used. Well, I’m living proof on how part of it is used. Thank you very much!”
