Lorraine stood before the crowd of Washington, DC women, proudly announcing her age: “I’m 65,” she said and adds, “I know some people don’t like to talk about their age.” But Lorraine is happy to have gotten this far. She is a recovered 40-year heroin addict. Lorriane was in jail. Her two year-old daughter was taken from her 38 years ago, never to return. Despite her personal tragedies, or perhaps because of them, Lorriane’s life changed forever when she walked into Goodwill Industries.
