Episode 17: Life is Beautiful

Welcome to Episode 17 of Inspiring Community: An Inspire to Rise Podcast led by our Prevention & Family Preservation Director, Robin Rossmanith. Please join us as he interviews our guest, Treevonia Robinson.Ms. Robinson began using cocaine at the age of 16 and continued to do so for the next 23 years. While she always quit using whenever she was pregnant, she went back to cocaine after she finished nursing each of her first four children. It wasn't until after the birth of her fifth child, and a diagnosis of Congestive Heart Failure that left her heart functioning at 22%, that Ms. Robinson got the help she needed to quit using cocaine permanently. At the time of recording, Ms. Robinson's heart had returned to 44% functionality, and her then 7-month-old child was strong and healthy. Inspire to Rise, Inc. is a nonprofit focused on holistically helping make the community a little better, happier, and healthier place.  For more information or to support our mission, please contact us at weinspiretorise.org or via phone at: 1-844-WE-RISE1 (1-844-937-4731). Thank you for listening. Send us Fan Mail
