Question by Adam B: Can you please proof read this for me?
My name is Farhan (Faith) Aden. I came to the United States of America in 1999 with my family. I was 14th years old. I came out as gay/transgender to my family, and immediately my family put me out and disowned me. I ended up staying with this strange family, they weren’t strange after all. This family said I can stay with them and finish high school. Miracles do happen. In 2007, I found out that I was HIV positive which was shocking news. I became hopeless and helpless. I thought my life was absolutely over. I was wrong.
I started drinking every day, in other words, alcohol became my best friend. I spent every penny I had on alcohol. If I didn’t have the money to purchase alcohol, I would find a way to get it. Recently, I realized that alcohol was ruined my life and I only had two options, live or die. I chose to live. Today, I have a great sponsor and attend AA meetings. My life has a meaning today. AA has given me real friends and so much of what I have today. Today, I am a recovering alcoholic, and I do not miss alcohol a bit. Thanks to my Higher Power whom watches over me and keeps me sane.
Few months back, I was in chemical dependency treatment, and a prior to my graduation from the program, my counselor asked me if I knew where I was going after treatment, off course my answers was no. He recommended me to go to Whittier Clinic and speak with a social worker. I called the social worker and made an appointment with her in the same week. In short, she told me about Lydia apartments, and said, “I think you will be quality their program. She continued talking and said, I need to get all your medical records and your therapist name and phone #.” I signed releases of information and about a week later, she called me and said, “Faith, this is Theresa, I just wanted to let you know that I have submitted your application to Lydia Apartments.” I said, thank you so much Theresa.
About a week later, I received a phone called from Lydia Apartment, and two days later, I was at Lydia Apartments doing my intake. Then I met Jeremiah, housing manager. Jeremiah helped me tremendously throughout the housing process. He gave me his undivided attention and I can’t thank him enough.
All in all, I am extremely happy that I have found Lydia Apartments. Special thanks to all staff, especially the ones I have worked with. Thank you!
