Crisis to Confidence: Amanda’s Powerful Recovery Story


It is a privilege to witness lives being transformed through the power of compassion, connection, and evidence‑based care. Today, we’re honored to share Amanda Carlson’s journey with you.

After experiencing homelessness and struggling to find stability, Amanda came to Fresno First, our residential substance use treatment program. There, she found safety, support, and a team who believed in her. Her powerful story doesn’t end with recovery; it continues with purpose.

Your generosity helps ensure more people can find safety, stability, and a path forward, just like Amanda did. We ask that you donate today to help others access life-saving care.
