“I am thankful for everyone at Tuerk House and what they did for me when I got here. It was not easy, but they kept saying, ‘hold on’ life gets better. I appreciate everyone, even those that I did not meet, doing work behind the scenes. Life does get better.”
Rev. Carl Greenawald, an early Tuerk House volunteer​
“I got here by almost losing my life. I was expedited to the Crisis Stabilization Center and then transitioned to Howard House. I stayed the course and persevered, and now I am employed, have been able to save some coins, have an automobile, and am a resident of Howard County, in sober living.”
Bernard Reed, former patient, Tuerk House employee at Howard House
