INTERNSHIP SUCCESS STORY
Meet Rachel
When talking about the participant journey at Rogue Retreat, few individuals touch as many pieces of our programs as Rachel. At first interaction with the Rogue Retreat Street Outreach Team, Rachel and her husband were in a dark, low place, and they needed someone to show them the light again.
“There was a time when I didn’t know where I’d sleep, what I’d eat, or if I’d ever feel safe again. I felt invisible, hopeless, and ashamed of where I let my life to. But one day, I received a call from an Outreach team member asking where I was at in that moment because they were coming to me.”
Admitting the need for help was the first and most challenging step in Rachel’s recovery journey. Taking the call and taking the help were a fresh start for Rachel and her husband.
Starting as participants in the Kelly Shelter, they soon joined the Hope Kitchen internship program offered by Rogue Retreat, hoping to get back into the habit of working and supporting their family. Within 6 weeks of entering the Kelly Shelter, Rachel and her husband had their daughter back under their guardianship and had moved into a family shelter with Rogue Retreat.
Rogue Retreat helped me have value to my life again and have the confidence in myself to be a good mother again.
“Rogue Retreat helped me have value to my life again and have the confidence in myself to be a good mother again. Step by step, I learned to take responsibility, to forgive myself and others, to make amends, and to lean into the community instead of running from it.”
Shortly after moving into family shelter, Rachel and her family moved into an apartment of their own – celebrating their graduation from the Rogue Retreat programs.
Rachel is now proudly in Management at the Hopeful Secondhand Thrift Store. If you ask her today, she says that she has stability, support, and hope. “I still have work to do—recovery is a lifelong journey—but I’m walking it one day at a time, surrounded by people who remind me that I’m not alone.”
