In a world where challenges often seem insurmountable, stories of resilience and triumph shine with an unparalleled light. Today, we have the privilege to share one such story - the journey of Josh W., a young man who battled addiction, mental health issues, and setbacks but never lost hope. Thanks to the unwavering support and guidance of dedicated mentors, Josh is now experiencing the joy of living independently for the first time in his life.
