“I hope to be able to work with people who’ve also been in the same situation and to share hope with others.”

How is House of Cherith Changing You?

Upon coming to HOC, I was willing to do whatever I had to do to heal & reclaim my life. HOC has given me so many resources to have another chance at a successful life. I have been given the support to beat my legal case, gain certification for a career, and support in gaining personal stable housing. I’ve been able to address emotional pain and traumas that have kept me bound for years! I’ve been able to notice and face codependent behaviors and learn how to navigate the codependency in my relationships. 

HOC has been a place that has loved me to life and has stood by my side and been my biggest advocate, even when it wasn’t easy & when I wasn’t lovable. They’ve taught me my worth in Jesus and they push me to live up to my potential and follow the will of God for my life.

What are some of your hopes and goals for the future?

“My goals are to complete my NAPA training, gain and maintain employment and stable housing, sustain independence, and continue to face things in therapy. I hope to be able to work with people who’ve also been in the same situation and to share hope with others.

It’s my ultimate goal to be able to be an advocate for victims of trafficking, domestic violence, mental health crisis, addiction, and homelessness.”
