Before coming to the Ruth House, Breitzmann was a meth and heroin intravenous drug user.
“I had a completely normal life before. I was married, I had a house, a good job, and I fell to almost having nothing,” she said.
In November 2019, she had nowhere to go and walked 2 miles to the Ruth House with two backpacks full of clothes.
Breitzmann recalled feeling nervous because she didn’t have a relationship with God, and she knew the Ruth House was a nondenominational, Christian-based ministry.
Upon arrival, though, she met only acceptance and welcoming.
She was surrounded by people who had dealt with addiction or incarceration, including the leadership. She felt free from judgment, and the environment helped bridge a gap.

Northland homeless shelters are seeing more encampments throughout the community and shelters are also starting to fill up as people look for a warm place to stay safe.
Places like the Rainbow Warming Center, CHUM, and the Ruth House in Superior are doing everything they can to help. Today is the annual Point in Time Count, where all shelters across St. Louis County will be counting overnight guests to help better understand homelessness in the community. It s not a choice that we made or wanted. We are just dealing with it the best way we can. There s other people out there that are homeless that don t have as much as we have. We are lucky that we have a heater and stuff, said Sharon Norris, a veteran who is homeless in Duluth. She lives in a encampment she built with a friend in West Duluth.
