We wanted to celebrate big for our 1 year anniversary but God had other plans!

Having our very first client come and give his powerful testimony to an over crowded room full of Padres Place family provided a home full of love, hope, inspiration, gratitude and brotherhood.

This last year hasn’t been easy.

It has tested and stretched us. It has humbled us to the core. It has broken us. It has made us trust and believe even more.

But to see a broken man with 40 years of addiction and 9 rehabs to say Padres Place Recovery was his last rehab and he has never been more happy in life… to see a room full of men having the love and encouragement to do the same…. Well…that is worth EVERYTHING.

We are not here for acknowledgement or praise. We are here to help the broken. We are here to show others what sobriety looks like.

365 days and 66 men have walked through our doors. Not all stayed. Not all wanted it but we are here for all of it!

365 days later and we are now opening a sober living house.

We want to extend HUGE gratitude to all those that poured into this mission. To those that prayed for and with us. To those that have provided opportunities to the men. To those that showed unconditional love. To those that cooked and counseled and provided donations to ensure no one went without.

We couldn’t do any of this without you.

It take a village to build His kingdom and we are so honored with ours!

To the next 365 days… we can’t wait to see lives change. To see even more come out of addiction and thrive. To see restored relationships. To see the hope with a purpose in each and every person that walk through our doors.

Thank you for the past year!
