A new home for women with drug addictions and experience of homelessness opened in Liverpool.
In an undisclosed location, to protect women fleeing domestic abuse, the home aims to teach them "the blocks to build their life back", according to 34-year-old Gabby German, who oversees it with Christina Justice. Both Gabby, from Manchester, and Christina, from California, spent 15 months each in recovery homes run by Victory Outreach.
Both wanted to die before turning to the international network of evangelical churches, founded in 1967 to help people experiencing homelessness and drug addiction in Los Angeles. Gabby, who grew up in care and got into drink and drugs aged 11, first visited the church's Manchester branch after she lost her one-year-old son who was put up for adoption five years ago.
