Let’s Raise Monterey County TogetherBillie’s StoryIn the early 2000s, Billie had one hope: to be reunited with her five children.Battling a drug addiction, she turned to Door to Hope for help. What she foundwas more than just a recovery program — she found inspiration and supportfor her whole family.After seven months in recovery, Billie was reunited with her children. “I wasdesperate. I was wanting to rebuild a relationship with my children,” remembers Billie.Through MCSTART, a First 5 Monterey County funded program at Door to Hope, she wasconnected to a team of providers that helped her begin to nurture strong parent-childbonds with her children and understand their unique needs. Services included therapy,home visits, and doctor appointments.“You don’t get a book on how to raise children. But Door to Hope and MCSTARTwere really that book for me. I was able to get support for my children mentallyand emotionally. They gave me a bunch of tools. I finally figured out the needsof my little kids.”Today, Billie’s children are in high school and young adults. She reflects, “Each oneof them is of course different, so I’ve learned throughout the years that when onekid is going through something, they need more of you.” Two of her children havegone on to serve in the armed forces and her youngest is an honor roll student.Her connection to Door to Hope is still strong and has come full circle. Billie has nowworked for the agency for over 10 years helping families like hers find the supportservices they need after completing their recovery programs.Billie’s family in 2008and her boys today.2 017 / 2 018 A N N U A L R EP O RTWWW.FIRST 5M O N T EREY.OR G 831 - 444 - 854920 years as a champion for young children and their families.
