It’s important to us that YOU know how our programs work. We look at everyone who comes to us for help as individuals with individual needs. Just as we look to help each person with what they need, we also have the immense pleasure of telling those individual stories of transformation!

The stories you will read are told vividly to illustrate the true redemption that has occurred in each person. Below are stories of the addicted finding hope, the homeless finding a home, and the abused being rescued.

These lives were transformed. Here’s the proof.

Sheila and her grandson

Sheila was born in Detroit in the mid 1960’s by a single mom who struggled with alcohol. Those struggles led to Sheila becoming a ward of the state by the age of 10. For those first few years Sheila was allowed to live with family members, but by the age of 13 she was placed in a group home. “The administrator of that home became a strong mother figure to me. We continue to have a good relationship to this day,” says Sheila.

Sheila graduated from Northwestern High School in the early 1980’s and shortly after had her first child and moved to California. While in California, Sheila had 2 more children and a short-lived marriage.
