 We are so beyond proud of Crystal we just had to share a little of her recovery journey with you! Crystal came into our program at the Freedom House after graduating from a local inpatient treatment facility! Today Crystal got her front teeth fixed and she is now able to smile without shame and with a new confidence because of what God has done in her life! Look at that beautiful smile.. Crystal is learning who God says she is and who she is in Christ! We get so excited to do weekly room checks and read crystals affirmations she posts on her mirror of who she is in Christ! In just under 2 months we have enjoyed watching her grow in her relationship with the lord! She says, she loves to go on walks now and talk to God! We have loved watching her grow in our weekly bible study and she has committed to getting plugged into a local church where she is is getting support! She starts a new job next week so, be praying for her as she begins the transition back into the community! One of our greatest joys is watching the ladies transform into that beautiful butterfly that God intended them to be. From our hearts to yours the Hope and a Future Team..

Elizabeth found herself in a jail cell once again and facing 30 months in prison. Her letter reads… Well as you know I am in the county jail again and yes, I am going back to prison for 30 months… Going back to prison has given me a second chance to fulfill my God given dreams. My addiction brought me lower than I ever wanted to be. I would cry alone and remember the words you spoke to me and how God had a plan for my life! (Jeremiah 29:11) Rachelle you have been by my side no matter how many times it takes. You have taught me how to have a true relationship with God! Thank you for not giving up on me!
