My name is Katherine Russell, and I am the Executive Director and founder of Foundations To Freedom. I am also a recovering addict.

Opening sober living homes has been a long-time dream of mine, as I want to give back and help other addicts get what was so freely given to me.

I slipped into the disease of addiction late in life at the age of 28, by getting into a horrible car accident in August 2008 where I flipped a vehicle 9 times on the highway after a work van lost its ladder.

After I woke up in the hospital, spending several months in a coma and many surgeries. I had 3 brain surgeries, spinal surgery, foot reconstruction surgery and I broke almost every bone on my right side. When I woke up, I had no idea how much this accident was about to completely change my life.

If you want a sustaining, successful life in long-term recovery, you must be focused on change and work on the recovery program. We will do everything we can to get you there, and we will get there, together. You are not alone!
