Before I came to Providence Home, I was to the point of giving up. 25 years, 2 months, 14 days in prison on a life sentence. I hadn't talked to my family in 25 years. It was my fault for the hurt I caused.

Nobody would take me in - until Providence Home said yes. God and Providence Home saved this sinner's life. I've learned the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. I want to give more of myself to God because of all the loving kindness they give to all the residents here.

When I came to Providence Home, I was homeless and alone. I felt worthless, no good, unable to do anything right. I had nothing to live for. I lost my family, my home, my license, my self-worth. At Providence Home, I have a safe place to deal with the trauma and gain a new purpose. Now, my future looks great, my relationships are growing, and I’m keeping my face on Jesus Christ.

When I came to Providence Home, my life was a spiral to death and hell. I used to feel like the bottom of the barrel that society could churn up.

I am 19 months sober, and I have a whole new set of true friends. I’m in a secure environment with the ability to engage in God’s word daily.
