TAKING BACK WHAT WAS LOST
Every morning, Dalia drove her son to school. She made sure his homework was in his backpack. His hoodie zipped. That he made it through the front door.
Then she’d get back in her car — the same car she was living in.
Dalia had lost her home. She had no job, no safe place to go, and no family to rely on. “My son stayed with his dad. I’d pick him up in the morning and take him to school,” says Dalia. She hated driving away after drop-off. “It was always hard to let him go.”
“Nobody knew . . .”
For a long time, Dalia’s journey to sobriety felt impossible. She’d join a program, stay sober for a while, then end up in the same pit.
“Nobody knew I was using. I was a functioning addict with a job and my own place. I tried many times to stop using. But I couldn’t do it on my own — not even for the love of my kids.”
When Dalia lost her job, she turned to selling drugs. “It was so hard to make ends meet,” she says. “I was just trying to survive.” Then, her house got raided. Dalia lost everything in just a day. This dark pit seemed to have no exit.
But she was given a choice that changed her life — prison, or CityTeam.
Taking back everything lost to addiction
“Without CityTeam, I’d be sitting in prison right now. Or in a homeless encampment somewhere,” says Dalia.
At first, she resisted. Not another program, Dalia thought. But something shifted the moment she arrived. “When I got here, I surrendered. People here are so kind and loving. I never knew God like I know Him now.”
Today, Dalia is growing in her faith. She’s learning to parent with love. And she’s working toward becoming a certified drug and alcohol counselor — so she can help others walk the same road to healing. Dalia misses her family, but knows separation is temporary. And this Christmas, she’s not alone.
“In this program, we’ve formed our own sisterhood. Everybody cooks. We’re really blessed to have people in the community who help us when they don’t have to. I’m very grateful for all the love you’ve shown us.”
Because you give, Dalia’s comeback story is about more than sobriety. It’s about her becoming the mother, mentor, and woman God created her to be.
“Before I came here, I was broken and angry,” says Dalia. “I can say I’ve become more loving. Kinder. I’m just different. CityTeam really changed me.”
