"I am capable"
When we welcomed Andrea into SFTSM after she escaped an eight-year, abusive relationship, she had only one of her four children with her and was desperate to have her family whole again. Thankfully, she says, “At SFTSM, I found a support system, resources, a family and a home.”
Andrea’s own childhood had been fraught with abuse, emotional pain and uncertainty. By the time she arrived at our family home, she was suffering from mental health issues, alcoholism and unhealthy relationships.
“I’d been alone most of my childhood, and abused by people I was supposed to trust,” she recalls. Our loving team gave her the opportunity to make positive and lasting changes that would break the cycle of poverty and pain for good!
The SFTSM staff challenged Andrea to get mental health support and obtain her GED. We connected her with local church groups that shared God’s forgiveness, love and grace. She also learned about anger management, budgeting and other life skills. Today, she says, “I thought I was a bad parent and a failure. Now I know I am capable. God loves me and I’m not alone.”
