Stories of recovery

BOUNSA

Chaos and violence shaped my childhood, and gangs became my family. Anger and addiction followed me into jail and eventually prison. After a friend was killed and I faced 36 months behind bars, someone mentioned Minnesota Adult & Teen Challenge. I didn’t know what treatment was—but I said yes. Walking through those doors changed everything. Today, I work for Teen Challenge, serve my church, and live with purpose. I’m present for my kids—and finally the man I hoped to be.

Addiction led me to a hospital bed and a coma from a life-threatening infection. Even then, I couldn’t stop using. I felt broken, alone, and too far gone. After leaving the hospital, I tried to use again—but nothing happened. In that moment, God met me and showed me a different path. Through Minnesota Adult & Teen Challenge, I found love, hope, and healing. Today, I’m restored, reunited with my daughter, and helping others find freedom.
