Hope Happens Here ❤️ Anita has been sober for 2½ years, a milestone made possible through her strength, faith, and love for her daughter. Since moving to Ohio, she found a lifeline at CommQuest’s Canton Friendship Center, where the team helped her connect with needed resources such as addiction counseling, the Mom + Me program, and most importantly, a place where she can feel supported, heal and belong. Anita’s story is a testament to resilience and the power of support. We’re so proud of her accomplishments and honored to be part of her journey. 💪
