My name is Sandra, I was 20 years old at the time and a face around Sarah’s Circle in 2000.
I was sitting here thinking about the past and going through the ups and downs in my life when I remembered about one of the most difficult times in my life – on the streets of Chicago. When I moved to Chicago I was a freshly recovered addict (heroine, Crack, okay, well let’s just say everything). I moved from a small town in Vermont to the HUGE city of Chicago. It wasn’t long before I relapsed into the drug scene again and homeless.
... I would like to thank all the staff, volunteers and especially the homeless women I spent 80% of my day with. Them women were so strong and I felt very safe around them…the program you run is a wonderful program. While I was sorting out my life and choices again, I was/am soooooo grateful that Sarah’s was there.
