Club Member Spotlight

Lil' Boy "I recently reached a milestone where I stopped smoking cigarettes, for two years now. I was told I was going to have emphysema, and I didn't want that, so I decided to quit. Rainbow Heights Club has supported me a lot through these things that I've been going through. If you want to be around people like who you are, I would suggest Rainbow Heights, it's a beautiful place!"
Delia "I am celebrating living in my apartment for 10 months now and am enjoying my independence. The neighborhood is quieter and much nicer than where I lived before. I don't use a staff escort anymore and I'm excited to have more freedom. I like that I live closer to Rainbow Heights Club and have less of a train ride. I'm also very excited to welcome Jason, my newest addition to my doll family."
Oleg "My recent milestone, a proud moment, I recently got a green card so I’ve really established myself here. And the second milestone will be very soon when I get my GED diploma, which I'm working very hard for. In the beginning when I became a member of the club it was a great help for my existence here. Support from the members and peers is very important to me. Anytime, you can drop in and feel safe."
Chris “I just recently got my security license, and also I’m getting ready to finish up my bachelors program at City College of New York. I will have a bachelors in Psychology and a minor in Sociology. One piece of advice I’d like to share today is that everybody can be themselves, you’re never too far to be in recovery. And whatever you like, whatever you want to do, you can do it! Don't let anybody tell you anything different.”
