​When her mother left her and her brother as children because of drug addiction, Reneé McCarroll, now in her forties, had no idea how that choice would change her life. When she sat down with The Salvation Army to reflect on how its programs had helped her, Reneé saw it as coming full circle—back to the West Charlotte neighborhood of her youth—and to her own mother, now in recovery for nearly 20 years, who stopped by as she talked.

He grew up in the shadows of these vices, so it stands to reason his involvement in them was inevitable.
