I cannot explain the miraculous events that have occurred in the last 2 years of my life. However, Resurrection House has played a very important role – and continues to surprise me when I least expect it.

Soon after Oliver was born, he became very ill. For months, we were continually in the doctor’s office. Nothing worked and he needed a specialist. But, with Medicaid, I was placed on a long waiting list.

Meanwhile, I was losing many days at work and finally couldn’t keep up. I was behind in the rent and my situation did not look good. However, something I was learning about was faith, praying, and trusting in a power I couldn’t see. I was told to sit still and pray and that’s exactly what I did. Within two weeks, Sister Rose – a woman I had been doing volunteer work for – introduced me to the Resurrection House case manager. I was accepted into the program and the rest is my prayer delivered and blessings received.

For almost a year, I have lived here (Resurrection House) under the care and protection of God. Oliver was able to have surgery and I was able to be there to care for him. He’s a very active, healthy little boy today. I believe that God works through people and my experience at Resurrection House demonstrates that.

I have been given an opportunity to live in a safe place with the promise of hope for the future. Resurrection House offers me continual guidance with career choices, life skills to build on, special counseling, financial assistance and training, food and clothing, a reading program for my son, and most important, spiritual direction to help me explore the importance of faith in my life. I am encouraged to seek and I am praised when hurdles are overcome.

I still have a long way to go, but I’m not just looking for the final destination. I’m looking forward to the journey itself and rejoicing in how precious each day has become.

Thank you!
