My name is Joella Evans. I graduated Alpha House in November of 2010. As soon as I walked in Alpha House I felt the presence of the Holy Spirit. I was an addict for 10 years. My drug use made me lose everything, including my self dignity, self-respect, and having any kind of love for anyone. At Alpha House I learned that I am not alone. I learned that I have a God that loves me, and is with me at all times. All employees and volunteers at Alpha House have become some of my closest friends. I adore them. They all gave me so much love. I gained so much back in the short time I was there. I hope some of you will make the choice to go to Alpha House. They will become your sisters in Christ, and they will love you just when you think you can't be loved. God loves us, and He will lead and guide us sometimes through others. Thank you Alpha House for believing in me. I love you.
