My Past Isn't My Destiny 2ndChance RecoveryProject
Yuba City, California, United States
Aim
Helping rebuild lives through recovery, stability, transportation, and second chances for people starting over after hardship.
Recovery Is Real
My name is Carissa. I am currently working to rebuild stability while navigating ongoing Mental Health Court requirements, and complex legal challenges, tied to an older case that has recently resurfaced. These circumstances have created urgent financial strain at a time when I am actively engaged in recovery and trying to remain compliant with court expectations.
I am committed to recovery, accountability, and long-term stability. I am showing up to court requirements and treatment obligations, but the added legal and life costs have exceeded what I can currently manage alone.
Funds raised will go directly toward:
- Legal support and case-related expenses
- Treatment-related costs and ongoing care needs (Inpatient Treatment Program)
- Transportation to court, appointments, and essential obligations
- Basic living stability (housing, utilities, and essential daily needs)
The goal of this support is not only short-term survival, but maintaining the stability required to continue participating in treatment and court successfully, and to avoid setbacks that can disrupt my progress, and the momentum in my recovery.
I am not asking to escape responsibility, I am asking for the chance to meet it in a sustainable way. I believe recovery is most successful when people are supported in remaining connected to treatment, structure, and community.
I have previously worked in professional and service roles supporting others, and I am focused on rebuilding that capacity step by step. At this stage, stability is the difference between continued progress and regression into crisis.
Any support financial or resource-based directly contributes to keeping that progress intact.
Thank you!
