My small children and I lived at Pacific Lifeline for about two years, after leaving an abusive marriage. While we were there we were treated with care and respect. We had to overcome many financial and emotional obstacles. The staff and the volunteers contributed to our healing by providing an emotional and material safety net. I consider my time with Pacific Lifeline an oasis of recovery. My children and I see Pacific Lifeline as an important part of our lives, they are our second family. Without the help and support of Pacific Lifeline and their supporters we would have not enjoyed the healthy lefestyle we enjoy as a family.
