Light At The End Of The Tunnel
– Vern’s Story

“Going through my program gave me hope that despite my past of addiction there was a light at the end of the tunnel. The Dream Centre has helped me build a life worth living. Now, I want to continue to help others that come here build meaningful lives filled with hope.”
