Angel’s Story

“I’ve accomplished so much in my life since Wayside. I’ve regained custody of all of my kids. I regained my sobriety and have safe and stable housing. Wayside made me realize how bad I wanted recovery for myself and my children. I felt loved and safe.”

– Angel R.

Before Wayside I was in one of the toughest points in my life – struggling with addiction, homelessness and Child Protection Services. I struggled to find my purpose in life. I couch hopped and had no stability. My turning point was dealing with Child Protection Services with my son.

When I came to Wayside Family Treatment I was scared and didn’t know what to expect. But I learned a lot about myself, my addiction and most of all, my recovery. Wayside made me realize how bad I wanted recovery for myself and my children.”


I felt loved and safe. I’ve accomplished so much in my life since Wayside. I’ve regained custody of all of my kids. I regained my sobriety and have safe and stable housing at Wayside Supportive Housing. Wayside was the best place I could have gone to.

I want to thank Wayside Family Treatment staff for all of their support and their sincere love and care for all of their residents and for everything they’ve done for me and my family. I also want to thank Wayside Supportive Housing for giving me the opportunity to be a resident in their community and for their love and support.
