Roots Recovery Residences is a compassionate and impactful grassroots organization that has been making a significant difference in the lives of the women it serves. Unlike traditional sober living houses, Roots is a close-knit community where women and mothers with dependent children live together, united by a common goal of recovery and personal development. The non-punitive and mistake-tolerant supportive housing model provided by Roots offers women recovering from substance abuse disorders a secure haven to learn, make mistakes, and thrive. As Mother Teresa once said, "We can't all do big things, but we can all do small things with great love." Roots is doing just that....
In my role as this organization's fundraising coach, it has been a privilege to collaborate with Tammy Howard in growing and expanding the mission of of Roots Recovery Residences (Roots Inc) to reach those who will benefit from this unduplicated program of services to both Jacksonville and Memphis. Long-term recovery is possible!
Five years ago I moved into roots and it was monumental to the recovery I have today. This is not a typical sober living but a place where I was showed how that its ok to learn how to be me. At the house I learned how to love myself and how to love others. This house changed my life.
Roots provides much needed community, encouragement, safe housing and family support to women in our community. The quality of their recovery housing is unparalleled.
I'm blessed that life put me in Roots hands since 3 years ago. This place that I call home. I have worked alot on myself and realized that I'm worth it and that I'm beautiful and I'm enough to love myself first and not be to hard on myself. Roots gave me hope and faith in my life and I will always be grateful. I have completed alot of things these past 3 years. Roots is a peaceful place, so peaceful that since I got here I realized things about myself that I needed to work on so I can continue to take this peace with me everywhere I go. Your worst days can be your best days and remember that when the Storm comes in your life, there will always be a beautiful rainbow coming your way.
I’m beyond grateful for Roots and all they have done for me and the other women who live here. They have given me a chance to give my daughter a safe and healthy environment to raise her in. They have given me real-life responsibilities so that I can learn how to manage real-life situations.
