“Poarch has allowed us to help people that didn’t have money, that didn’t have anywhere to go, and that didn’t have a GED, and they’ve paved the way for us to take in more people. Because we were able to get a mental health and substance abuse certified counselor through Poarch funding, many lives have been changed. And if you can positively change just one mom or dad’s life, you can change a whole family.”
After graduating from high school, Bo Bell struggled with drug addiction. It was only after his second stint in rehab that he realized he had a desire to help other people. At that moment, however, he couldn’t help himself. Thus began his journey toward recovery. After getting sober, he founded a ministry called New Beginnings to help others cope with the very issues he overcame as an addict.
