Just one year ago I was living on my own after twice putting my children’s father in jail for domestic abuse. Unfortunately after being released from jail, it didn’t take long for him to find us. He broke into my new home so many times I eventually started living with my friends and in my car with my two little boys. That was when a counselor at the Battered Women’s Shelter recommended the House of Hope. By moving to the House of Hope the children’s father can no longer break into my home and he cannot harass me.

Now I am back in school. I also work full-time at Apac, I am on tow Boards of Directors and I am a full-time mom with two perfect little boys.

My children’s father has also improved. We he could no longer get to us, he felt something for the first time in a long time. Now he is a “recovering” drug addict as well as a counselor for other domestic abusers.

I am safe and my children are safe. Thank you, House of Hope.
