Well Chance seems like he has a very good handle on what's going on, and he knows what he NEEDS to do, he just can't get there.

I feel so sorry for him... I wish there was more I could do... I would love to go see him but I cannot afford that kind of a trip

She does, but they turned her away.

Back home there is a rule. If your born there, you'll die there & more then likely young.

The drug use & mental illness is pretty high there (that town has the highest crime ratio of ALL of Canada.. rapes, murders, suicides & DRUGS galore!!!)... I blame some of it on health care... If they would help more young folks who want/need help, then the suicide ratio would drop drasticly! & so would a lot of other ratios, drug use!!!

I was one of the lucky ones that got out of that town before getting mixed up in drugs. As I was heading down a BAD path as I did see no future like everyone else. Even though my Ex was a horrible person, if him & his family didn't take me into the city with them for school, I never would have gone & I would have stayed with the ummmm... lets leave it at that... But ya, it would have been bad

My sister got mixed up in drugs at about 12yrs old. She got preg. at 14 & OD'ed over & over & over to kill it... She was a horrid reck... When I finished college, dad no longer had to pay for my child care (I would have stayed in school longer, but I knew my sister needed the $ more then I did).. so my dad got her out of that town & into school.. Shes been clean (even from pot) since Aug 2006 or a little earlier... She hasn't touched coke, or E in years. She has cut way back on drinking, to the point she only drinks at parties, but doesn't get wasted... He smoking is going down.. She hasn't quit it yet, but she keeps cutting back at her own pace.

Chance & his g/f will be in that town, prob. for life. Unless they get a break, Chance was offered free university paid by his uncle, but he still hasn't gone I tried to incourage him to go, but he doesn't want to leave home

What town are they in?

What town are they in?

Smiths Falls

Its where the Hershey Plant is.. but I think its still shut down, which is horrible news! the RRC is closing & thats bad enough! if both go, the town is going to die even more.

As a passer by, you'd never know the town was a hell hole, as the mayor spends lots on decorations. The people you meet are friendly, its what you don't see is the problem.

Stunningly beautiful area, up highway 7...so sad that there is so much despair in the midst of that paradise.

Prayers for Chance and that woman.
