Ella Ellis
Screener
I was born in Houston Texas and grew up in CPS so I moved all over Texas. While in CPS I met my daughter’s father who enlisted in the army He came back broken and fighting addiction where he lost his battle with life when my daughter was 2 weeks old. I then carried on life as a single mom still in the system until I aged out at 18.Both my parents and sister have struggled with addiction all my life. My father succumbed to his addiction when I was 31 after getting sober yet coming down with a disease from his drug use habits. I have been very lucky to have had the resources from CPS and My case worker to motivate me to break the cycle of addiction. I myself have not struggled with addiction but handed a horrible dose of Anxiety and PTSD from past trauma.
My Why:
I came from a family of addicts and grew up in CPS due to that, I moved all around Texas until I finally got a couple of years in the same high school and graduated Klien Oak High. While in my senior year I found out I was pregnant with my Daughter and had to grow up fast. I went to college then ended up in an oilfield town and worked in the oilfield for many years. I soon found Warriors Heart and was amazed at what they do for our Brave Men and women of the military and First responders. I quickly hired on and instantly felt at home! I decided to leave to pursue a career that I got my degree in and instantly regretted it after working three years as a property manager. Warriors Heart was calling me back home! Warriors Heart holds a special place in my heart, so of course I’m back!
Can’t wait to welcome you home as well!
