INSPIRING HOPE THROUGH TRANSFORMATION
"But I knew that's where I was supposed to be.
God gave me the strength to not be embarrassed."
Anh remembers stepping through the gates of Central California Women’s Facility for the first time in March 1999. She was in her mid-20s and facing 25 years to life. It felt like the end of a long, dark road—a search for love that left her empty.
Raised in a Catholic family, Anh was a shy little girl who craved attention. Her mother and father worked hard to put food on the table for their large family. As a result, her parents were often away from home. Anh began acting out in middle school, ditching classes and trying alcohol.
After a relative molested her, Anh drank to numb the pain and confusion. She befriended people with the same reckless habits. "I don't know how I graduated, because most of the time, I was drinking," Anh says, looking back. "I slept around ... I wanted to feel loved, and to me, that was love."
