From Those That Lived It

I am beyond grateful for this chance and this opportunity to better my life and just be the best me and the best mom that I can be. Today I have full custody of my kids. I’ve sought forgiveness from those I’ve hurt. I’m really looking forward to my future to see what’s in store for me. Thank you.
– Kelly

Friendship in the recovery program was like a miracle. I went from nothing at all to suddenly belonging. The Mission showed me that healing was possible.
– Patrick

What life looked like before this was lonely, in a jail cell, doing whatever I could to get money. Today, I am a productive member of society. I truly have a life that I’d never imagined.
– Joshua

I was in complete bondage. Coming to Shepherd’s Door saved my life and gave me stability and a safe place to heal. I am blessed and full of joy. My relationships with my family and children have been restored!
– Beth
