Success Stories
"Our Mother’s House is a new beginning, a place to start over again, a fresh outlook on life." - Brooke
"Sarah came into our program last summer after being homeless and living in her car with her 1-year-old. Since being in our program we have seen her become gainfully employed, start going to school to get her AA, and participate fully to get to her goals. She goes to counseling, attends life skills classes, and is saving money for her own place after Our Mother’s House. Watching her and her child blossom has been such a gift and testament to our mission here."
