We serve women like Sophia every day. She represents the young, scared and tired moms who walk through Home of Hope’s doors.
Through life skills classes and close relationships with Home of Hope staff, Sophia began to believe in herself again.
“They transformed my way of thinking and gave me the hope and motivation that I am a good mom. I am loved,” she said. “I learned it was okay to ask for help, and it helped that there was a place we could go home to every night, one we could actually call home.”
Her stay at Home of Hope hasn’t come without bumps in the road, though. The rules and guidelines felt restricting at first, but now she realizes they are helping her build healthy habits that will benefit her and her kids.
As her savings account grows, she’s imagining her own home with a garden and big backyard with a playset for her kids. She’s confident that if she keeps applying what she’s learned, her dream could become a reality.
“Before, I was just living day by day, going from house to house,” Sophia shared. “Now I feel more structured and stable. I feel like I can stand on my own two feet.”
And that’s thanks to the team at Home of Hope, who reminded her that she has so much strength. Who helped her see she is a good mom. 💛
