“I have my life back. God has put my pieces back together.”

From a young age, Shellina was left alone long hours after school — her single mother busy selling drugs on the Seattle streets.
From a young age, Shellina was left alone long hours after school — her single mother busy selling drugs on the Seattle streets. Shellina, along with her eight siblings, learned to fend for themselves. To remarkably carry on. To survive.
But with her mother never home, it wasn’t long before Shellina turned to drugs herself. To numb the pain. To cover up the loneliness. “I started at 14, smoking weed and drinking, and then when I hit 16, that’s when I started smoking PCP,” Shellina recalls.
“I started at 14, smoking weed and drinking . . .”
Through the Mission’s recovery program, Shellina found hope and a start to a new life!
