Jerrica Lacy’s story is one of heartbreak, healing, and divine intervention.

Growing up surrounded by addiction, Jerrica knew drugs and alcohol long before she ever knew peace. Both of her parents battled addiction, and tragedy struck when her father and brother lost their lives to overdoses. Her mother is now in recovery - a living reminder that redemption is possible.

Though Jerrica grew up in church, she didn’t know God personally. That changed during one of the darkest moments of her life. Lying in an ICU bed, detoxing from alcohol, she prayed for a sign - and her nurse walked in and said, “God wants you to know that He loves you.” That simple message became the turning point she needed.

Years of pain and an abusive relationship had pushed her deep into addiction - a cycle she thought she could never escape. But when she came to VOA Northern Rockies’ Center of Hope in Riverton, everything began to change. Jerrica quickly became a house leader and was later accepted into the organization’s recovery home.

Once bitter toward religion, Jerrica found her faith again and rededicated her life to Jesus. Today, she’s pursuing her license as an addiction practitioner - using her story to bring hope to others walking the same road she once did.
