Day 5: 12 Days of Hope ⭐
Submitted by Dan
Merry Christmas from all of us at Essex Recovery Foundation - and a special message of hope from Dan Buck, our Innovation Fund Officer!
Dan shares his inspiring journey, reflecting on how far he’s come and the life he’s building in recovery. This Christmas is extra special for Dan, as he announces that he and his partner are expecting a baby in April - a dream he never thought possible just 2.5 years ago.
