Sixteen years after being pulled off the streets, she is living proof that your support does more than just keep the lights on—it changes destinies. When you partner with Hand Up For Women, you aren't just making a donation. You are directly funding miracles, offering grace, and rewriting futures.

Thank you to everyone who has poured into this ministry. Your generosity is actively saving lives.

Motherhood isn’t just about biology—it’s about the women who nurture, guide, and love us unconditionally. To every mentor, friend, and mother-figure who steps up to give a hand up: thank you. Tag a woman who lifts you up! 🌷💕

🎥 This is More Than a Program—It’s Family.
At A Hand Up for Women, we don’t just offer classes; we invest in lives.

As we shared at our March Gala, no other program in this area invests in women as deeply or for as long as we do. For some of the graduates you see in this video, that investment has spanned over 20 years.

Why? Because "family" isn't just a word to us. It means:

A permanent space where you are valued.

A community where you can truly be yourself.

A sense of home through every season—the good and the bad.

When you support HUFW, you aren’t just funding a curriculum; you’re sustaining a family.

"He Calls You By Name"
"I have redeemed you. I have called you by name. You are mine."

For many of the women who walk through our doors at A Hand Up for Women, life has been a series of labels they never asked for. They’ve been called everything but their given names. They’ve felt like they belonged to no one—or worse, to the abusers, the users, and the streets.

But there is a turning point.

This video captures the powerful "in-between." It’s the story of women who were once one way, and now they are another. What changed? A realization of their true worth, a supportive community, and the life-altering grace that happens when they finally hear: "You are mine."

Watch the story of transformation.

Join the Circle of Hope: Help us continue to provide the "in-between" for women in Knoxville. Your support builds the bridge from a painful past to a purposeful future.

From a fire that destroys to a fire that serves. 🔥

"Hand Up for Women is the place that took a broken woman and showed her she was worth more than she ever imagined."

Amanda’s story isn’t just about survival; it’s about a total transformation of purpose. The same passion and strength she once used to navigate the darkest chapters of her life has been redeemed to serve God and lift up the women walking the path behind her.

Today, she isn't defined by her past—she is defined by whose she is: a daughter of the Most High God. 🙌✨

At Hand Up for Women, we believe that no matter how deep the wounds or how long the struggle, restoration is a promise. 🧡

Help us reach more women like Amanda:

"Restoration is not only possible, but it is promised." ✨

Crystal’s journey is a powerful reminder of what happens when women are seen, heard, and supported. At Hand Up for Women, we believe that setbacks do not define your future—God does. Through community and sisterhood, lives are being transformed every single day.

Watch Crystal share how she found her purpose and a family that walks beside her. 🧡

Ladies, think of your best friend. The gal that you automatically call when you have something exciting to share. Or you need a dose of encouragement, or a shoulder to cry on. Now, imagine that person wasn't there...ever.
That's where our ladies are. Most have never had a true, agenda-free, female friend. No one to guide, advise, comfort, or cheer them on. YOU could be their first! Here's how.

We are excited about a new class tonight!

Last week in our Hand Up for Women Anger Management class, women showed up with honesty, naming real anger, frustration, and pain.

Starting with the question, “What made you angry today?” women shared everyday struggles like work stress, conflict, feeling overlooked, exhaustion, and moments of being hurt or disrespected. Different stories, but shared experiences.

Together, we faced a hard truth:
We can’t control what happens to us, but we can choose how we respond.

In that, we begin to take our power back. We are not at the mercy of every situation or every person. God does not call us to be devalued, and we do not have to react in ways that diminish who we are.

We also talked about how anger is often just the surface. Underneath is the desire to be seen, respected, and understood.

One simple shift:
What if we lived as if Jesus were in the room with us?

This is the work, learning to respond differently, to pause, to pray, and to grow.

Thank you to Alana, our class coordinator.

This is Hand Up for Women, bringing dignity, confidence, and hope, even in the midst of anger. 💛
