Rarely do we share stories (good or bad) to protect the privacy of our clients but these ladies gave us permission to share their story. This is Amber and Becca. They have been with us for 3 months and are recovering addicts. Over the course of that time both ladies have acquired jobs, stayed clean, enrolled in college courses, and became best friends. One of the ladies is also now involved in a local church. Today they moved into their own apartment together! We are so very proud of them and have grown to love them. This is thanks to your support! Please pray for these ladies as they continue making progress in their lives! ❤️
