“I could not have done it alone…”
"And let us run with perseverance the race marked for us.” – Hebrews 12:1
Our Mission: To walk alongside parents spiritually, emotionally, and financially as they face the challenges of supporting a child with mental illness or an addiction.
In 2017, my husband and I drove our then-18-year-old son to a residential treatment center for extreme depression and anxiety. Shortly after exiting that program, we were forced to kick him out of our home, so he checked himself into an addiction treatment center. While we prayed that this would be the end of our nightmare, it was only the beginning.
Over the next several years, our son’s varying mental health issues and addictions led him through various treatments and many, many precarious situations. And as you can imagine, his tumultuous journey has had a significant impact on our family.
