Life was a daily struggle
Sharon had become a single mom in 2011 after the death of her husband. She bounced from home to home, ending up in abusive and toxic relationships. After the birth of her fourth son, she knew she had to get out. She moved to a rented mobile home that made them all sick from the mold, then to a motel, and finally ended up homeless in the local domestic violence shelter.
“I had no idea what our next step was until I found out about Serenade Heights.” said Sharon. “I prayed and prayed about applying. When God spoke to me, I cried like a baby. I was always blocking blessings and not listening to God, but He was right. I had dreams that I wanted to come true, and had never been able to follow them. Serenade Heights has helped me believe in myself again. I was able to go back to school to get my GED and I am now enrolled in college classes working on my Associates degree in Criminal Justice.”
“Serenade Heights has had a big impact on our lives, not only spiritually, but emotionally as well.”
Sharon will complete her two year program at Serenade Heights this February, equipped to finish her degree, manage her finances, set goals, and having learned how to be a better parent…her community of friends has grown through her mentoring team, and her walk with the Lord has been strengthened and she regularly attends a local church. This is what Serenade Heights is all about…helping moms like Sharon…giving her the ability to dream big dreams for their children and herself…and breaking the cycle of poverty and homelessness.
