Commissioner Richard Abraham

Lifeline has truly been just that for so many men, a lifeline. Often during addiction there comes the moment when we ask, "How did I get here? How did I lose everything?" That first drink or that first injection or first pill was not taken with the intent to destroy your life. For so many of the men who have been blessed by either being ordered, by the judge, or selected by the selection committee to participate in the residential program there has been presented to them the opportunity to change the path they have been walking. Christ is the center of everything at Lifeline. If you have the opportunity to attend the recognition banquet, you will truly be motivated to support this program. My life was changed by seeing the interactions of the people who have reached out to those in need and to those who have reached back and held on to the lifeline offered. You cannot help but be motivated to give of yourself to these people whether it is in prayer, financially or creatively developing new supportive structures. I support this program in our community and thank God for them.
