After last weekend’s 5-year fundraising event, I gave myself time to pause, reflect, and think about moving forward.

Now it’s back to a full weekend of parent coaching and supervision. I truly want the best for all the families I’ve supported through the years. Looking back, I’m reminded that this work has never just been about services — it’s about healing, growth, restoration, and creating safe spaces for families navigating difficult seasons.

I remain grateful for every family that has trusted drinkwater family services walk alongside them on their journey.

We are STILL fundraising for our new facility. If you’d like to hear more about visit

Our multidisciplinary team of dedicated professionals brings a wealth of diverse experiences to cater to the multifaceted needs of the families we support, setting DrinkWater Family Services apart with our holistic approach to family welfare.

Five years ago today, Evangelist Patricia Favored McPherson prayed over Drinkwater Family Services from front to back.

Since that time, she has continued to be an avid prayer warrior over me and DrinkWater. Im SO grateful for prayer warriors who cover the vision, stand in faith, and stretch my faith along the way.

Those seeds of prayer planted a foundation for what God was preparing to grow.

Looking back, I can see how God was already moving, covering, and preparing the way. What started in prayer has continued to unfold through faith, purpose, and His timing.

It has been 5 years since DrinkWater Family Services, Inc. was established.
I took a leap of faith and created a space where children and non-custodial parents could come together safely to fulfill court-mandated supervised visitations. What began as a vision has grown into meaningful work that supports families, strengthens relationships, and promotes family stability throughout the community.
Please join me as we celebrate this milestone and highlight the impact DrinkWater Family Services has made over the past 5 years.
