With nowhere to go, I lost my
apartment when my husband entered a rigorous rehabilitation
program for addiction. Pregnant, homeless, and with no idea how
to care for a baby, I moved into Harvest Home. I prayed for a
good home and look where He directed me! I attended birthing
classes and parenting classes diligently and with interest.
Soon enough, my darling baby girl arrived, at 7 pounds, 15
ounces! A beautiful, happy baby who loves to talk and laugh,
McKayla enjoys blowing raspberries and cuddling with me. With
hard work and the tutor that Harvest Home provided for me, I
will obtain my G.E.D. I a woman of deep faith, hope to attend
college for child development. Now clean and sober, my husband
is working again, driving trucks which he loves to do. Since my
transition to Upward Bound, he has really stepped up and is now,
making efforts to be a good father and husband. Our goal for
the future is to reunite as a family and take the necessary
steps toward making a healthy home together. I am grateful and
have a compassionate heart and one day hope to work with women
and children in need. Many times no one hears the cry of those
in need and is willing to help, encourage and believe in them
but Harvest Home does! The biggest thing is that God will
help anyone if they turn to Him and ask. I did and He helped me
through. I am very thankful for Harvest Home and all they did
for me and are still doing for others like me. McKayla and I
will always come back to see the women and pray for God to bless
them.
