Summary

Summary”I grew up in Long Island, New York, in a Catholic home where love felt conditional, and I learned to shut down my heart. 📚 As a teenager I chased escape—video games, grades, sports—until it spiraled into full-blown substance addiction: weed, alcohol, heroin, crack. 💔 I hit rock bottom with weekly car crashes and arrests, convinced there was no hope. But God pursued me even then—nighttime car wrecks that could’ve killed families, my mom’s suicide attempt, a 12-step rehab opening a glimmer of hope. 🙏 When I heard God’s voice in songs, Instagram quotes, and the Bible, I challenged Him: “If Jesus is the only way, prove it.” He led me to evidence of Christ and I surrendered. Immediately the chains began to fall—weed, cigarettes, pornography—gone. I was baptized, mentored in Virginia, and experienced inner healing in Dallas that surpassed any high. 🔥 Now I live free, empowered to love and be loved, all thanks to Jesus. ✝️”
