    About Us

    We are a mother and daughter who have swum in the riptide that is addiction. As her mother, I tried to save her. Avery was swept out to sea, and miraculously returned. It is our hope that in sharing our story, we can bring comfort and waves of joy to others who have been affected by the disease of addiction.
