Eviction and alcoholism brought me to Bethany House, where I was restored. I made an observation during my struggles that there are not enough resources in the community for homeless women. I vowed that if I were given the chance, I would become an advocate for women that are experiencing homelessness.

What attracted me to Bethany House was the love of the staff, allowing God to work through them and help others.
