Remembering the past:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond that gate is Spiderland. It is known as an area for homelessness and other things. It is where someone we know got killed. When we went back, we did not fit in anymore. But we liked that we did not fit in. Our past is blocked off now.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Call to Action<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Surrender to help. Allow yourself to get the help. Sometimes you are in your own way. Every person has a different path but ours was surrendering to the help that New Hope wanted to give us, to treatment because that was the only way we were going to get our housing and save our lives. <\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
