Life before coming to Mercy was horrible. I found out about Mercy from my counselor, and I applied to the program because I felt that my choice was to either go to Mercy or kill myself. When I got to Mercy, I was very closed off and scared.

One of the major turning points for me at Mercy was doing the Keys to Freedom workbook. Other turning points were when my counselor and other Mercy staff prayed for me and when I shared my testimony with others. God has completely transformed my life. He showed me that I don’t have to do it on my own, and that it’s all about Him being in control.

I plan to go to school and get married after I leave Mercy.

I want donors to know that their donations really do save lives.
