Testimonials
Courtney
Hi, my name is Courtney Danforth; I recently moved into my own place, but while at Amanda's House I became a house Liaison & was a resident for about a year and a half. This house has done wonders for myself and my recovery. The amount of patience, stability, and love has been my biggest blessing. I have maintained my sobriety for a little over two years, I’ll have successfully completed treatment court in a little over 3 weeks, & I have been reunited with my two older children and had my third child with the support and guidance of Paula, her amazing volunteers, The house & Mandolin Foundation. As I get ready to graduate Court and move on from the house I wish to still be involved as helping and watching these ladies grow, recover, and evolve. Being the only sober living in brown county that allows children to reside with their mothers full time or allows reunification on all levels is such a huge, powerful asset to the recovery community because most mothers who don’t get the chance to make those positive changes end up back in the cycle.
April
Hi! I am April, I am in recovery and
have struggled with addiction since
I was 16 years old. I am 42 years old,
and I am 11 months clean and sober.
I am working very hard to have my
14 Month old son home with me and
if it wasn't for being in sober
living at Amanda's house this
wouldn't be possible because there
are not many options for safe
and stable housing in Green Bay
for someone who is getting back on
their feet, and who has children.
Amanda's house allows me to live my
life with just the right amount of
accountability and support to keep
on going and stay on the right track.
My journey has not been easy but having
a safe home for my son helps me feel
secure and optimistic for our future.
I thank God every day for this opportunity
and the gift of safety and stability that
Amanda's house has given me.
Sober living is such a delicate time for the recovering addict/alcoholic because it’s where most of the changes happen, whether they’re good or bad. One has to, essentially, relearn how to live and function like a normal member of society and it takes a lot of patience, learning, and understanding but overall trust that the place you are at is going to help you mentally prepare for a life of sobriety. I literally could not have gotten as far in my recovery or rebuilding with my children (while carrying another) if I did not have this house, foundation, or Paula to help facilitate. My appreciation and love for this house goes with out measure and I’m so excited to see it continue to evolve and grow.

I am so grateful that I am sober today and drug free. I don't think I would be here today if Amanda's house was not an option.

Recently I was allowed to be off site for four days to attend a regional conference in ohio for H/A. It was a wonderful, experience. I learned so much and networked with many different people. I am currently serving as a house liaison.
Chloe
Hi, my name is Chloe. What brought me to Amanda's House?
I found myself in major trouble and ended up in jail. There I got into a treatment program called Herion Court. After being referred to a couple sober living houses, I joined Amanda's House moving in March 18, 2024.
Moving here I was scared and did not know what to think. The staff has been nothing but supportive and they listen to anything you're going through They have helped me open up to females, join the classes offered in the house and become supportive to other girls in the house. If I had to help anyone choose a sober living house, Amanda's House is number one! All the girls listen to each other; we are very supportive and care about each other including the staff.
​
Amanda's House has opportunities to live with your children and to reunite with your kids, learn to work on yourself and become the woman you know you are!
For me, being a part of this house has made me do a whole "360". Two years ago I would have never took this opportunity and ran with tt. This house and program has changed my whole life and how I look at things; I have remained sober the entire time I have been here.
I have opened up to each and every female in the house. I laugh, speak to them, we do things together, and they have been supporting me through the hardest times. I would recommend this house to anyone looking for a sober living house. It definitely keeps you on your feet and helps you to start believing in yourself. It will help you overcome a lot of stuff.
​
Amanda's House is a great place to live, to bring your children if you are trying to reconnect with them and bring light back into everyone's life. I recommend this house house 100%.
