FOUNDERS OF PROYECTO LEGACY
Welcome to Proyecto Legacy. We are Marcos and Elizabeth Gomez. Our journey through the challenges of addiction has shaped our unwavering commitment to making a difference. Marcos battled addiction firsthand, while Elizabeth stood by his side, striving to provide support in the face of despair. Together, we experienced the profound pain of hopelessness but also discovered the power of resilience. Rehabilitation was a pivotal first step for Marcos, offering him clarity and insight into what a fully transformative recovery process entails. However, it also exposed a heartbreaking truth: the lack of stable housing and ongoing support for those transitioning out of treatment. This gap often left individuals vulnerable to relapse, undermining their courageous efforts to rebuild their lives. Determined to break this devastating cycle, we made a pledge to create lasting change. Proyecto Legacy was born from this promise—a mission to provide a sanctuary of stability and continued support for individuals committed to a life of sobriety. We invite you to join us in transforming lives and breaking the chains of addiction. Together, we can create a legacy of hope, healing, and opportunity that no one can achieve alone.
Testimony
The image on the left is a version of me I can barely remember. When I look at it, I see the pain, the loss, and the weight of addicton that took everything from me. It took my family, my dignity, and my hope. I was lost. The person I once was, seemed so far gone. I didn’t think I would ever find my way back, but somehow, I did. The picture on the right shows the me I never thought I would be again: alive, healthy, whole. It’s not just the physical change that stands out; it’s the light in my eyes that had been extinguished for so long. That light is back. And now, every day is a reminder that recovery is possible, that healing is real. I’ve made it my mission through Proyecto Legacy to help others find that light, too. I’ve seen how deep the struggle runs, and I know that we can’t just survive; we deserve to thrive. That’s why I’m here, sharing my journey, hoping that someone out there sees this and believes they can make it.
