When Michael Mikel leaves the St. Ann Substance Abuse Program, he will be taking a renewed outlook on life and a donated 15-speed bicycle to help him get to and from work more efficiently. Mikel notes that his time at Dismas has taught him “patience, tolerance, leadership skills, and a respect for the little things in life.” Mikel also notes that he will not return to his lifelong home in Carroll County, deferring instead to remain in Louisville.
