Meet Tracey
Tracey is dreaming of a safe place she can finally call home. The Newark resident was in a relationship that left her heartbroken and homeless. Addicted to heroin and alcohol, Tracey was referred to Broadway House for Continuing Care after surgery to rehabilitate a broken knee, address her addictions, and heal her spirit.
Tracey recalls, “When I came to Broadway House, it took months and months to finally get out of my wheelchair and start walking with the help of a walker. Now, I’ve kicked methadone and my substance abuse, diabetes, and high blood pressure are under control. If it weren’t for Broadway House, I don’t know where I’d be. They saved my life.”
Today, our social services staff members are working with Tracey on applying for Social Security and finding a permanent place to live. Tracey says, “I want a real place to call home. I’d like to find a women’s program to help me take up a trade and learn some skills. My health is good, and that makes my mother so happy. Her prayers were answered. I thank God… and I thank Broadway House.”
There is a beautiful place, staffed by beautiful people, who care for beautiful people. We are talking about a little-known miracle in Newark, NJ. It’s called Broadway House. This house is a long-term care facility for people living with HIV/AIDS. This 66-bed facility is unlike any you have ever visited. It offers excellent medical care in an environment that fosters respect between the staff and residents. There are many fun activities and trips to go on, and the food is very good. We also have the opportunity to talk to groups of children and young adults about the dangers of HIV.
