Krystal
Co-Founder
Hi, I'm Krystal, co-founder of Restoration Living.
I'm a recovering mother of three with over 10 years of sobriety, and my life is living proof that restoration is possible. Recovery gave me a second chance — not just freedom from addiction, but the opportunity to rebuild my life, restore my relationships, rediscover my purpose, and become the mother and woman I was always meant to be.
After treatment, sober living became the bridge that made long-term recovery possible for me. I experienced firsthand how important structure, accountability, community, and genuine support are during the most vulnerable stages of healing. One experience that deeply impacted me was realizing that out of 32 individuals who completed treatment together, only one remained sober long term. That reality has stayed with me ever since, and it fuels this mission every single day.
At Restoration Living, we believe this journey is about so much more than just sober living. It's about recovery and restoration in every form — mentally, emotionally, spiritually, financially, and personally. True healing means helping people rebuild confidence, rediscover who they are, repair broken relationships, learn stability, and create a future they can genuinely be proud of.
As both a woman in recovery and a mother, my heart is especially for women who feel hopeless, lost, or unsure if change is still possible for them. I know what it feels like to need grace while also needing accountability. I know what it feels like to want a different life but not know where to begin. That's why we strive to create more than just housing — we strive to create a real home and a true support system.
Outside of recovery work, I'm also a realtor, and I've always believed that home means more than just four walls. A home should be a place of peace, growth, safety, and healing. That is the culture we aim to build at Restoration Living every single day.
My mission is simple: to remind every woman who walks through our doors that her story is not over. No matter how broken life may feel, restoration is always possible.

Hi, I'm Ezekiel, co-founder of Restoration Living.
I'm a registered ICU nurse, and throughout my time working in critical care, I witnessed firsthand the devastating impact addiction and substance abuse can have on individuals, families, and entire communities. Night after night, I cared for patients battling overdoses, alcohol withdrawal, infections from IV drug use, organ failure, cardiac emergencies, and the many physical and emotional consequences that addiction leaves behind.
For a long time, I believed I was doing my part simply by treating these patients once they made it to the ICU. And while I'm grateful for every life I've had the opportunity to care for, over time I realized something deeply on my heart: I didn't just want to help people survive addiction — I wanted to help stop them from ever ending up in my ICU bed in the first place.
That realization changed everything for me.
I began to understand how many people were leaving treatment motivated to change, but returning to environments that lacked stability, accountability, support, and genuine community. I saw the gap firsthand. Too many people wanted recovery but didn't have the foundation or support system needed to sustain it long term. That burden stayed with me long after I left work each day.
Restoration Living was created out of that burden, compassion, and calling.
My faith in God has always been the foundation of my life and the driving force behind this mission. I truly believe the Lord places certain callings on our hearts for a reason, and helping people find restoration became one I could no longer ignore. This work is about so much more than housing or sobriety alone. It's about helping people rebuild their lives mentally, emotionally, spiritually, financially, and personally. It's about giving people hope again. It's about showing people they are not too far gone.
I believe recovery and restoration are possible for anyone when people are surrounded by structure, accountability, compassion, and community. Every person deserves the opportunity to heal, rediscover purpose, and build a future they are proud of.
At Restoration Living, our mission is to create more than just a sober living home. We strive to create an environment where people feel seen, valued, supported, and genuinely cared for. A place where healing can begin and where lasting transformation becomes possible.
To me, this is not just business — it is ministry, purpose, and service. And I'm incredibly grateful God has allowed me to be part of it.
