Happy Mothers Day Ladies! 🥰
One Story of So Many
2009-2021.
I ran across this in my pics yesterday! This was a fun time at Serenity House, just chillin' by the pool. 2020 These women were my foundation, their stability is what helped keep me going, as long as I had a strong foundation in each home, I knew we were ok, emotionally and financially.
Our home was unique, we never received a steady flow of financing, when someone came in short of funds or lacking sobriety, it was time to find a way to make it work. Early on in Serenity House, 2009, I had three of our women call me from the E.R., they said Mom, there is somebody here you need to meet, she has shown up here at the E.R. completely naked, no clothes, from a homeless camp. I found out she had been told she needed a bypass surgery and unless she could get clean for six weeks, she could not get the life saving surgery. The women begged me to help, I said I will do that, I will cover her clothes and food, getting her to the doctor appts, but I will only do this if you promise to help me. I want you to form tag team, it's something I implemented to help detox women, everywhere she goes two women go with her, to keep things real, zero cheating on drugs and alcohol. It was a huge ask and required accountability, Everyone agreed and all did their share. Trudy got her heart bypass surgery, and not only that, she was able to see her daughter she had not seen in fifteen years, due to addiction, she was in the Navy. 💞 It was so amazing for all of us. God is so good, and we had many amazing outcomes and plenty of heartache, we became very connected.
