Oregon Woman Emphasizes Humanity of Recently Cut Drug Court
“Growing up in Pendleton, DeBord was one of five kids raised by a single mother. They were poor, and the stress at home ultimately led DeBord to drop out of high school when she was 15 and move in with a friend. Around that time, DeBord said she began experimenting with drugs and alcohol. Four years later, she met Christian, the man she would marry and who convinced her to go clean. Slowly but surely, she said they got out of poverty and had two kids together — son Bailey and daughter Addison.”
