"Through my time at Mercy, God restored my hope and dreams. For so long, I had no dreams for my life, and I thought that how I was living was just how life was supposed to be."
Amber
"God definitely restored my hope. He restored the passion in my heart to be a mother. He gave me more faith and hope in myself to be the mother my daughter needs. I also have hope for my future in general and have a lot I want to do with my life now!"
Ashley
"God has replaced my shame and guilt with peace. He tells me that I am always loved and cherished. I’ve that learned He is the only thing that will ever satisfy me. There is no life without Him. He is everything I will ever need."
Brianne
"God has shown me my identity as his daughter, friend, and bride. He’s shown me that I can trust Him with anything, and that He’s ALWAYS been there for me, through everything. Jesus showed me that He pursues me relentlessly, and that He always embraces me with love and mercy, and there is nothing I can or can’t do to change that."
Karen
"God has taught me that it is okay to have personal convictions and to stand by them in kindness. I refuse to live in shame, and I have begun to differentiate my worth from my abuse. My heart is beginning to trust God again."
Sarah
"While at Mercy, God healed me from all of the labels I had on me. I miraculously no longer have a tree nut allergy, and I am not afraid of living! I also got my GED! I have learned that God really loves me."
Tiffany
"I now know that my identity is based on what God says about me and not what others say or think."
Tessa
"To the Mercy donors, thank you for believing in me when I didn't even believe in myself. Thank you for teaching me that I am worth fighting for."
