Founder & President
Read a Message From the Founder
Attracted
to the challenge of bringing
hope to women demoralized from
chemical addiction and despairing
of life, through the founding
of Living Recovery, Donna has
made a unique residential community
available where women can be
given the chance for a better
tomorrow. The venture marks the
culmination of a career spanning
some 25 years in ministry to
women and 10 years as a Marketing
/ Communication Specialist in
Corporate America. Taking the
challenge one step further, she
is currently developing a business
system that will open a new area
of employment opportunities for
people coming out of the drug
culture and introduce the prospect
of a career path through Living
Recovery. Donna is also the Spiritual
Director of Living Recovery.
Katherine
Webb, LCSW
Clinical Director
Kathy
is licensed through the state
of Georgia as a social worker
and brings a desirable component
to residential care due to her
clinical knowledge and therapeutic
skills. She is a graduate of
the University of Georgia with
a Masters in Social Work. Her
approach to recovery incorporates
her personal and professional
experience and knowledge of addiction.
Her professional interests are
the underlying issues of addiction

Debi
Hymel
Administrative
Director
Debi
has an extensive background in
office administration and supervision
encompassing over 25 years.
She
has a strong desire to help people
of all ages overcome the pain
and suffering that accompanies
addiction. Her deep empathy for
addicts in recovery makes her
the ideal person for administering
our program.
Debi
is personally familiar with the
bondage that addiction brings
to someone that is dependent
upon mood altering substances,
whether legal or illegal. Debi's
mantra is based on the awareness
that the path to recovery is
a structured discipline empowered
by inner strength.
A personal note from Debi:
"I
know this is what The Lord had
in store for me all along. I
am just glad that I found Him
once again and allowed Him back
into my heart and everyday life!
Living Recovery helped make that
happen and for that, I am indebted
to The Lord and Living Recovery."
