"Before I came to Community of Hope, I was strung out on drugs and homeless. I hated myself and everything around me. There was no hope. I just wanted to die. I ended up in an institution on suicide watch. That's when I realized that there has to be more to life and I wanted it. I ended up at Community of Hope. While here I earned my CNA license, got a job, got a car, got a bank account and God has restored me with my family. Life is great. No more looking back."

"Because of this house I know I will prosper and be the woman and mother I know I’m meant to be."

"The Community of Hope House has been a safe and sober haven for me. It has helped me grow into the woman I
know God has intended me to be. I have learned to be self-sufficient, wise, and carry myself with poise and class.
They have helped me to see that there is in fact hope and light tomorrow."

"I've been a lot of places. But when I came to Community of Hope, it really changed me and my life
in such a positive way. It brought me closer to my God. I've been able to deal with a lot of my issues
(spiritual and mental). I've learned that all things are possible if you have God in your life. Being here
has made me a better person. I have a great relationship with God and others . I'm surrounded with
people who don't judge me who loved me until I could love myself."
-Miss S
"You feel the peace and safety the moment you walk through the door. You are welcomed with open arms. You
are not judged for any of your shortcomings whatever they may be......I am truly aware of my surroundings and
I feel safe and so blessed. I can speak my mind as to what I am feeling and trying to cope with, without being
judged. I am also beginning to feel comfortable in my own skin. What I have learned is also to feel comfortable
talking out loud and sharing with others, which I was not comfortable with before. I have learned to love and
care about my sisters that are here and have left. Most importantly, I have learned to forgive myself.""
