One year ago, the doors of the D. McDougal House opened. And with them, hope did too.
In just twelve months, this house has become more than walls and rooms; it’s become a place of second chances, steady mornings, hard conversations, laughter, prayer, workouts, and learning how to live again.
And this year holds something especially worth celebrating: most of the men in the D. McDougal House have now reached their 6-month mark in recovery.
Six months of choosing sobriety.
Six months of showing up on the hard days.
Six months of rebuilding trust, routines, and belief in themselves.
Recovery isn’t instant.
Healing isn’t linear.
But day by day, this house has been a place where progress is possible and consistency is forming something solid.
We are grateful to the Klines, and to every donor, volunteer, coach, leader, and supporter who helped make the D. McDougal a reality and who continue to help keep the lights on, the fridge full, and the mission moving forward.
Most of all, we honor the men who choose recovery every single day! Your courage, commitment, and willingness to do the work is what makes this house a home.
One year open.
Countless lives moving forward.
Recovery is possible and no one has to do it alone. 🤍
