                        TRIBUTE TO LAYLA EICHLER

 Mr. DAINES. Mr. President, this week I have the honor of 
recognizing Layla Eichler of Jefferson County for her passion for 
helping others build better lives.
  Layla Eichler is a treatment coordinator for the First Judicial 
District Treatment Court. Layla travels all across Montana to work with 
judges and their staff to create positive life changes for those who 
are suffering from substance dependency and substance abuse.
  Layla has been a passionate leader of her team since 2015, providing 
activities, resources, and kindness for participants in her program. 
Most importantly, she dedicates her time building a community for those 
impacted by the vicious cycle of addiction. Layla sacrifices her 
personal time and money to create activities for participants to enjoy 
and try something new. For example, every week she hikes a new location 
with the participants.
  Since December of 2019, the number of graduates through her program 
has reached close to 40. The number of drug-free babies born has 
increased from 11 to 13. Four GEDs have been obtained. Seven have 
enrolled in college or graduated.
  The lives Layla has touched have been made better by her unrelenting 
dedication to see her participants succeed.
  It is my honor to recognize Layla for her selfless efforts to support 
her fellow Montanans to build better lives for themselves, their 
families, and their communities.
