Client
“I think the people at GLAD House are really nice and kind. I really appreciate it when you help me with my homework or other things. I know I can be a pain sometimes, but just be patient with me because I have an anger problem.”
Michelle, age 11
“My grades have gone from D’s to A’s and B’s since GLAD House started helping me with my homework two years ago. It feels great to get an A!”
Amber, age 10
“With my kids at GLAD House, I had time to focus on my recovery program. GLAD House helped my girls understand what I was going through; why I was behaving the way I was. It also helped their grades at school. Seven years later, I am still clean and sober and the girls are doing well.”
Carlnetta, parent
Partner
“I am not aware of any other program that provides such comprehensive services for children whose mothers are in residential treatment. The children learn self-control, how to be more attentive in school, and how to participate positively in school and community activities. GLAD House does wonderful work, and with proper funding, they could do even more.”
Volunteer
“I came through the program as a client and now I’m back volunteering with the younger children. I like giving back.”
Monique, age 14
“I like volunteering for this unique organization because I feel we are really having a positive impact. To keep kids from following in the footsteps of parents who abuse drugs…what could be more beneficial?”
