Meet Laura
Prior to residing at Penn Foundation’s Village of Hope, Laura was struggling with bipolar disorder and drug and alcohol addictions. She has been hospitalized multiple times and spent several months in jail. Feeling alone, Laura appreciated visits from Penn Foundation’s FACT (Forensic Assertive Community Treatment) team while she was in prison. Once she was released, Laura worked with the FACT team to find housing that would support her recovery.
“I really like the structure that the Village of Hope offers,” says Laura. “It has helped me so much. I also appreciate that there is always someone around; I’m not alone anymore.” With the support of the Village of Hope staff, Laura got a job as a waitress at a local cafe. She also got her driver’s license back and bought a car. Weekly visits from her young son keep her focused and motivated.
“I’ve been through a lot of programs, and Penn Foundation is by far the best one,” says Laura. “The staff really cares about me, and that makes all the difference.”
