The HELP drug rehabilitation centre in Manila – While the streets of Manila were filled with opulent Christmas decoration and lights, each and every room at the drug rehab was filled as well. So the “shack” was really crowded for Christmas and we celebrated in a big group. A short while ago, we took on a family of 6, which we knew for quite a while. Mother and Father, they both are struggling with drugs. We also plan to take in more rehab guests.
There is Jeffrey
Some time ago, 29 year old Jeffrey has come to us. Already at the age of 13 he began to take drugs. His father and his brother were doing drugs as well. With age, he also dealt drugs. While his father and his brother could make it years ago, he stayed on drugs. A few weeks ago his brother has made it clear to him that there is a way out of the hell of drugs. Jeffrey took courage and has decided to take up a therapy with us. He feels at home now. Even though the separation of his family is not always easy, upcoming Christmas is full of hope for him.
