When Ashley found Cope Family Center four years ago, she was only a few months sober, pregnant with her third child, single, and new to Napa. “I didn’t know anyone,” she says.

She was leaning into her recovery. A DUI (she now refers to this as “a blessing in disguise”) led to a stint at in-patient rehab, and a decision to take a year off from work to focus on sobriety. She felt lucky to be able to afford it, but at the same time, she wondered, “How are we going to survive?” As a single mom with “a great job” who had “always worked, always been the provider,” Ashley was used to relying on herself to keep her household going. She had faith, and energy, but she also had moments of fear.
