Unfortunately, we don’t have any trainee-angels like Clarence on the staff at Hope Rehab, but we do have the next best thing – a supportive community. We help each other see that our lives are not a waste, and that we all have something important to offer.

We start to see that yes it is a wonderful life.Â
