Danny Ellerd was so ill that jail refused to take him. He weighed just 92 pounds, and an infected hand was threatening his life.
In 2021, after years of addiction and homelessness, two bounty hunters found him on outstanding warrants.
He says his hand was so swollen from injecting drugs that they couldn’t handcuff him.
At the jail, a nurse insisted he needed a hospital instead.
Doctors saved his hand, and his life.
After treatment, Ellerd entered recovery through Hope Is Alive.
He later enrolled at Oklahoma State University, studying Computer Information Systems while working and managing a recovery home.
He graduated with a perfect 4.0 GPA.
By October 2026, he reported five years of sobriety, two college degrees and a job helping people move out of homelessness.
He also wrote a book called Recovery Is Possible.
