Dear Friend, In December 2019, House of Hope will have provided hope and healing tomen and women in South Florida for 50 years. We feel agreat deal of pride having kept our doors open for half a centuryrebuilding lives, restoring families, and strengthening our community.

Everyday in the United States, 120 people die of a drug overdose.We hope to put this to an end. While our organization continues to grow at a slow and steady pace,generous contributions from local government, private foundationsand individuals continue to multiply resulting in us serving nearly 600clients through a residential and outpatient setting in fiscal year 2018-19. We hope you, as a member of our community are as proud as weare of the difference the House of Hope mission continues to make for somany people in this tri-county region. Whether it is through employmentcoaching, housing placement, psychiatric services, one-on-one therapyand much more, our 24/7 treatment center continues to chip away at theserious problem of addiction. With your help, and the assistance of many others we look forward to abrighter future of more persons served and fewer deaths by overdose. Weare grateful that you share our belief in gifting second chances to thosewho have fallen. The families of our clients in recovery are counting on us.Together, we can give them the answers - the hope - the change theyneed. With sincere gratitude,

HOPEFor 45 years Gilbert was an addict. In and out of jail anddetox centers he would retreat to substance abuse. Bornand raised in the Bronx, Gilbert relocated to SouthFlorida with his family. Although, as the years went byand his addiction worsened, a bridge between his familyand friends stretched until it broke. Finally, with an opportunity to turn his life around, hearrived at House of Hope. Having never participated in atreatment center, he now feels ready to turn his backon drugs for good with a goal to die of old age and not byoverdose. With one-on-one counseling, daily activitiesand responsibilities, Gilbert made productive use of histime. Having spent 6 months in our residential facility, heis moving on with a renewed strength and empoweredby this second chance.

stories of

Heather arrived at House of Hope with no other options. Ittook her young child’s tears and pleading for her to finallyseek recovery, so she made a choice to pursue the hope andhealing she desperately needed. She arrived to a point in herlife where she wanted to live… for herself and her child. Throughout her stay at House of Hope, Heather has madesteady progress. She obtained her GED, was trained andcertified to operate a Forklift, and is slowly reintegratingback into society. When asked where she’d be if she hadn’tmade the decision to come to House of Hope, “I’d be dead orin prison,” she replied. “I guarantee it.” In March 2020 Heather will be graduating for our programwith a renewed sense of purpose, a steady position, andalmost one year of sobriety to act as her foundation as sheadjusts to her new normal.
