Parents Overcome Substance Abuse to Reunite with their Children

When Charity first enrolled with the 100 Families Initiative, she was navigating the painful reality of losing parental rights to her youngest child, in addition to having previously lost custody of her three older children. Understandably reserved and hesitant, she faced an uphill battle, but she refused to let her circumstances define her future.

Through relentless dedication and perseverance, Charity took the necessary steps to turn her life around. Her efforts led to the successful overturning of past custody decisions, and she is now in the process of reunification with the help of the Arkansas Division of Children and Family Services. Today, her children are back home on a trial placement, marking a significant milestone in her journey toward full restoration.

Charity's progress has been supported by her husband, who has also undergone a remarkable transformation. Committed to creating a stable and nurturing environment for their children, he has overcome substance abuse and embraced his role as a full-time stay-at-home father. His support has been instrumental in reinforcing the foundation of their renewed family dynamic.

Despite the many challenges she faces—including maintaining full-time employment and welcoming a new baby in July—Charity remains steadfast in her commitment to self-improvement. She never misses an appointment, consistently follows through on every goal set, and continues to prioritize her family's well-being.

Charity Meyers’ story is a testament to the power of perseverance, the impact of support systems, and the incredible potential for change. Her determination to rebuild her family and create a better future stands as an inspiring example of what is possible when resilience meets opportunity.
