<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">From our friends at Saginaw Chippewa is this beautiful story from Tasha House, who bravely publicly shared her story of addiction, only to suddenly pass the next day. As Judge Shannon of the Saginaw Chippewa Healing to Wellness Court notes,
“her story underscores the tragedies we see in our work and communities. Tasha was very involved in prevention strategies and will be missed.”
