Friend,
Rickey's story is something special. You can see the positive
force that he is and the boundless impact of helping one person on the
community... all made possible by VOA and you!

Rickey Green's story

[link removed]

Rickey's upbringing was rough. With an absent father at a young
age, his single mom worked two jobs to keep food on the table and a
roof over their heads. This also kept her from giving him the
supervision he needed. In middle school, Rickey's fears and
sense of hopelessness worsened. Drugs were an escape from his fears.
Prison ended up a consequence of his addiction.

When Rickey's mother and grandmother heard about Volunteers of
America, they secured him a bed at one of our Mid-States Men's
Addiction Recovery programs. This would be Rickey's turning
point.

Now when he gives speeches about his turnaround with VOA, Rickey talks
about the "trained, credentialed professionals who have a
genuine desire to make the world a better place," and who helped
him thrive. Without them, Rickey reflects, he wouldn't be alive.

Today, Rickey is healthy, happy and doing great work. And intent on
giving back. As he sees it, just having a great life is not the end
goal. It's a launch point, to make a difference every day "for
the people behind me."

Rickey's work is a living legacy. He continues to change lives of men,
women and youth through his talents of connecting, gaining trust, and
successfully inspiring them on their pathway to a better life.
