Testimonial

“My youngest son died in a car accident when he was trying to get home. He and I had been walking thru recovery together and he had relapsed.  When his car went off the bridge he was just 5 miles from home.

That’s what The Cedar House means to me getting someone home safe thru those last 5 miles.” – Patti O.
