The holidays are a special time for families, but one Valley family is celebrating extra special milestones this season: health, togetherness and sobriety.
This is baby Lorenzo’s first Christmas.
He and his mother, Kristi, were in inpatient care at Jacob’s Hope, a specialty nursery in Mesa that provides care for babies with prenatal drug exposure. Jacob’s Hope offers these babies and their mothers a chance to transition from the hospital to recovery and home to thrive.
ABC15’s Jane Caffrey talked with Kristi, who is now sober, about how she overcame addiction and the life-changing experiences she and her family have had thanks to Jacob’s Hope. Watch the full report in the video player above.
