When Jade, homeless and five months pregnant, first contacted LifePath Christian Ministries, she was desperate.
“When I called, I was crying,” she remembers. “I was scared. But the director was so sweet. She was just like, ‘Don’t worry. You’re going to be okay. Just come in.’”
Jade went, and that’s exactly what happened. She was welcomed with unconditional love, and everything — including her baby — ended up better than “okay.”
That’s what your support does for people in desperate situations — you help to turn a situation that’s less than “okay” into something far better.
The first purpose of our women and children’s program is to provide, through shelter, meals, and clothing. The second purpose is strong course work designed to help women grow spiritually, to develop life skills, and more — everything they need to flourish personally and in the community.
We accomplish that with a combination of our own staff and volunteers, and through partnering with local agencies that provide the services that we can’t — like medical and mental health services, addiction treatment and recovery, and more. It all adds up to a holistic approach that fosters complete transformation.
But even when our guests “launch” back into the community, we don’t just leave them alone. We’ll continue to be there for them.
None of this happens without the generous support of friends like you!
