NEW HOPE, NOW AND FOR ETERNITY.

"Sheila" came to Redeeming Life during a very difficult time.  She struggled with her mental health and fell into substance abuse that stemmed from a long history of childhood trauma and a sexual assault while in the Navy. 

 

“I was abandoned, pregnant, homeless, jobless, hopeless, and likely losing my baby. I could not find work, which meant I could not provide food or shelter for myself, I was running out of time, and I was unsure if I could survive out in the streets.”

​

By the grace of God, she visited an emergency hub for housing and was referred to Redeeming Life.  Once she applied, Sheila was desperate to be accepted to our program.  Sheila knew that Redeeming Life was her last and only hope left for survival. 

 

She moved into Redeeming Life in January 2025. Sheila would finally get the help she needed and deserved. 

​

“My new life started when Redeeming Life opened their doors to me and gave me the safety, security, stability, structure and opportunity to be saved in every way possible.”

​

Since entering the program, Sheila has remained sober and has returned to college to study Computer Science and earned membership to the National Honor Society. She has a new job that she loves and a car now, too.

​

Her beautiful baby boy, "Zack" was born in May 2025, and mother and baby were both Baptized together in June 2025!  Transformed by Jesus, this precious family has eternal hope and a bright future! 

​

“Redeeming Life held my hand and guided me into my faith walk with God - a walk that I have now fully embraced, embarked upon, and will continue to journey on for the rest of my life. That is the biggest gift I could have ever received, and something that I will never lose or have taken away. Without faith I had nothing, and in faith I have everything I will ever need.”

 

Sheila and Zack’s lives are better because of people like you.  God guided her path to Redeeming Life for help, and your gifts opened the doors to her.  Thank you!
