“Life before House of Cherith was hopeless, dark, and I felt worthless.”

Life before House of Cherith was hopeless, dark, and I felt worthless. I was walking a very dark path. I was out in the streets doing risky things. I was out there disrespecting myself and putting my body out to shame. I didn’t care or know the horrible situations I put myself in. I had so much shame that it was a normal thing in my life.

Since being at House of Cherith I have been learning to cope with those feelings of hopelessness and darkness that sometimes come back. I now have goals to better myself as a woman, and I hope to transition back to a normal life.
