Messages of Hope
Daughter Yoli with mom Tammy testimonial

“The stability of living with my mom at The Mission gave me a peaceful atmosphere and time to think about my future. I have been able to get a job as a cashier, save money, work towards my high school diploma, with the dream of becoming a paramedic. But most importantly, I have my mom back.”

Yoli and Tammy

“The counselors at The Mission told me what I needed to hear, pointing out things I needed to change. Making me aware of trauma symptoms that needed to be addressed first - then the addiction!”

“The Mission introduced me to God. They taught me to believe in myself and gave me the lessons on how to live a new life in Christ, to love myself. I know that Jesus is the reason I am where I am today.”
