I started attending LIFE Skills in the fall of 2022. I had just moved in with Cody after choosing not to renew my own lease. Over time, LIFE Skills taught me that it’s ok to ask for help and that I wasn’t alone. It taught me that, with God, I could make things work given what we were going through at that point in our lives. I stopped finding excuses as to why I wouldn’t get up and go to church every Sunday.

Today, I’ve built an amazing relationship with my future husband, Cody, and I’ve gone out of my comfort zone by volunteering at the front desk at Love INC, too. I’d like to give a special thank you to Eloise for not only being a mentor, but also being a friend when I really needed someone the most.
