What an INCREDIBLE day last Saturday! 🏁✨

Our Freedom House ladies traded the usual Celebration Sunday festivities for an afternoon of go-karts and mini-golf at Sir Goony’s Family Fun Center.

The day was packed with a Phase 3 milestone (we see you, Jasmine H.!), serious racing rivalries, plenty of laughter, and more than a few bragging rights. ⛳🏆
We love watching our players shine, celebrate their progress, and make memories together. 🏎️💨

🌸 From Our Side of the Door 🌸

Have you ever wondered what life inside Freedom House really looks like? 🏡💗

We’re excited to share the very first edition of From Our Side of the Door—a monthly glimpse into Freedom House from the perspective of the women who call it home!

Inside, you’ll find 🙏 prayer requests, 🎉 milestones worth celebrating, ❤️ answered prayers, 🏡 everyday moments around the house, and a little bit of the life that happens between it all.

So come on in and take a peek from our side of the door. 🚪✨

We’re grateful for every person who prays, gives, volunteers, and walks alongside FOCUS. You are part of these stories, too. 💕
