My name is Marybeth Hill, and for the majority of my life, I lived in the darkness of active addiction. I lost years, relationships, opportunities, my freedom, but most of all, I lost myself. My journey took me all the way to federal prison, but it was there, in the stillness and the struggle, that I began to find hope. Today, I’m a woman in long term recovery. By the grace of God and the support of others who relieved in me when I couldn’t believe in myself, I found a new way to live. And now, I believe it’s my purpose to help the next person who feels lost, hopeless, or forgotten.

The Marybeth Hill HOPE Fund was created for people just like me who are coming out of incarceration, battling addiction, or starting over in recovery. This fund helps remove financial barriers that stand in the way of healing: whether it’s access to treatment,housing, or peer support. Hope is real, recovery is possible, and no one should have to do it alone.
