Donna Brown’s Story
My name is Donna Brown and I have been clean and sober for 4 years. I have worked for Bakersfield Recovery Services for 3 years and currently in the position of Site Supervisor for all sites. My journey in recovery started 4 years ago at the Mission of Kern County, in their 1-year discipleship program. This was the best decision I made for my life. In 2015, in the height of my addiction, my family gave me an ultimatum, get help or they would have nothing to do with me. They were hurt and could no longer bare the pain of watching me destroy myself. At that time, God led me to the Mission, to mold me into the mother, daughter and human that He has designed me to be. There was no turning back. Since that time, there have been many struggles that I have overcome, all with God and my family right by my side. I enjoy every day being a part of the BRS family and I am blessed to get to be living the life I chose today.
I’m Crazy proud of You and Happy to Call you My Friend. YEEAAHHH
Congratulations Donna!! I’ve been clean for 17 years. I love seeing and hearing people’s testimonies. It gives hope and encouragement to those still out there in addiction wanting to get clean. My dream job is working in recovery to give back.

I watched you grow up and never saw you to be an addict. None the less, I’m so proud of you for accomplishing your goal and managing to stay clean. Especially when addiction can be one of the hardest things in life to overcome. I’ve seen this firsthand and have lost my loved ones to this disease… I’m so happy you aren’t a bad statistic… Sending you much love and big hugs .. Keep up the good work! Keep your sobriety. Keep your family close and most importantly.. Keep your faith in God. With him all things ARE possible! I miss you!
You made an amazing impact on my life and I am forever grateful.
