Reuniting Families!(cont)

The weather was freezing when Heather arrived here in February. Fortunately, there was a bed available for her here at our Haven of Hope shelter for women and families. Today, she's working to get back on her feet by taking part in Humbled Hearts, our Christ-centered long-term recovery program.

"Since I've been here at the Mission, I’ve gotten more things accomplished than I did in the whole 38 years of my life." In addition to taking care of her immediate health needs, the Mission helped Heather find a lawyer and start receiving SSI. "I also found Jesus. That’s been very important to me."

Thanks to the progress she has made, Heather is very hopeful that she and her 15-year-old daughter will soon be reunited. "Once I have an income and a clean, safe environment for my daughter to stay in, she can come home and live with me." Until then, her daughter comes to visit on weekends and they talk on the phone almost every night.
