SAN DIEGO (KGTV) -- She lost her job, car, home, and children.
Drug addicted and living on the streets with her husband the prospects appeared hopeless.
âI love serving the people that are just like me, that I once was," said Crystal Hernandez as she began to tell the story of how she once ended up living on the street. âMy addiction took me there. Said Crystal, âI was addicted off and on since I was 14-years old.â
Crystal says it started as nothing more than peer pressure among kids. But soon, barely a freshman in high school, no pressure was needed. She was addicted.
