Step Two

Many women throughout the United States are struggling form addiction and their children are suffering too. A lot of these women have no place to go for help, they don't have a job, and due to their substance use are sometimes not able to be with their children or be a mother to them because they're unable to even take care of themselves. When mothers are unable to get help and treatment for their substance use, their lives continue to spiral out of control and their children continue to suffer as well.

It's not uncommon for children that grow up around drugs and alcohol to start drinking or using substances at an early age and suffer from addiction at some point in their life also.
