My Story: Lee Ann Hannaford

Smiling woman with short dark hair and glasses sits indoors, with a lit cross in the background.

I just want to be very honest because maybe people like me can listen to my story and let them know that it’s going to get better.

When I was two years old I was hit in the head with a baseball bat. I got kicked out of my school. Then I came home and I started going to pysch hospitals, and that’s where I’ve been ever since. This is the first time that I’ve ever been anywhere that’s not psych and I enjoy it.

I only have to one staff per shift and they are there for me if I have a rough day or if I need something I can just talk to them. They take me to places I need to go.
