Anyway here is my most recent story.
Dana Peck, 21, grew up in Athens, Ohio. After losing his father to a truck accident at the age of six, it was only 10 years later that his mother died from cardiac arrest. He spent the next few years in foster care, and struggled with drug and alcohol addiction for a decade. Things began to turn around, however, upon his finding support in Sojourners Care Network, a youth development program based in McArthur, Ohio.
Sojourners has given Peck a house to live in, with five other boys, various jobs, and the opportunity to enroll at Hocking College, where he plans to study chemical dependency counseling and juvenile substance abuse. Dana attends Athens Community Church twice a week and has found a second family in some of the members. His only living relatives are his elderly grandfather and aunt in Albany, Ohio, whom he visits on most weekends.
