"My name is Mia and I have struggled with drugs and alcohol for several years. I went through a constant battle with inferiority, depression and self-hatred. One day, God came into my life and ministered to my heart and mind. He saved me, delivered me and ultimately set me free!!! I give honor to God because He is my rock. This little lady right here is Ariel – Faith. She is a dynamic light that shines within my heart and is the epitome of who God truly is… love! I came to New Beginnings in desperate need of, well, a new beginning. This home has made us whole and made us feel at home. New Beginnings has ushered me into the presence of God and enabled me to be the mother I was called to become through Him. Praise God!!!" ~ Mia and Ariel

"My name is Kelsey. I am a daughter, a sister, a friend and a mother. I was brought into this beautiful world on November 6th of 1991. At one point in my life, I didn’t think I’d make it this far. I have experienced many ups and many downs in my journey of 22 years. I have been through a rough depression, abuse and addiction. Between the ages of 13 and 18, I was in and out of my home – from running away to being sent to inpatient treatment centers. When I turned 18, my family kicked me out and my addiction grew worse. A couple months later, I found out I was five weeks pregnant. I had just dropped out of high school, was jobless and homeless. I felt there was no hope. But then I found my hope through New Beginnings. New Beginnings taught me many things to help me grow into the mother I know I can be, as well as a good citizen and a good Christian. They introduced me to God and His true plan for me. They taught me that He loves me and, despite all of the sins of my past, He forgives me. It is through Him that I find hope every day, and I have New Beginnings to thank for that. They truly opened the door to my new beginning as a mother. I am truly blessed to be a part of the New Beginnings family."  ~ Kelsey and Adam

"My name is Sierra and my son’s name is Xavier. Before we came to New Beginnings we were struggling a lot with income and family. I was very lost and lonely. Now since I’ve been here I have a family, money in the bank and I finished school. I also obtained employment and child care that fits me. I’m very happy to be here. I know my son and I are very safe and secure. We’re also grateful to be surrounded by individuals who care for us so much. That’s a plus to know that there are people in this world who care about you and your baby. One of my fondest moments of being here was when Pastor Voss had baptized both my son and me on the same day. It was beautiful. A little after that we joined Pastor Paul B’s church. I met new friends and family here that I will never forget. New Beginnings will always be home." ~ Sierra and Xavier

"Hi, my name is Brandy and my son's name is Ki’Mar. Since I’ve been at New Beginnings, I’ve been the happiest that I’ve ever been. I’m learning how to become a good Christian. For the first time in a very long time I feel like I’m a part of a family. Without New Beginnings, my son and I would be in a homeless shelter. I thank God every day that I was given the opportunity to come to the New Beginnings program. Thank you to everyone who makes this program possible." ~ Brandy and Ki’Mar
