Hello, my name is Angie Railton. I was tired of living on couches of friends and family, living out of my storage unit, and just feeling desperate. One day in 2018 I looked in the phone book and called the Rescue Mission. There was room for me in the Hope for Women program and I went. I said goodbye to my family for a couple of months and focused on myself and how to become a better me. Through Jesus Christ all things are possible. I found myself and finished strong. I graduated seven months later. Today I am employed by the Rescue Mission full time as an office assistant. I have a happy home and have found love. I was married to Bob Railton nine months ago, who serves as the first point of contact for the Mission office.

I feel blessed that I can share my story with new people in the program so they know if they work hard and stay focused in the program, their hard work will pay off and God will open doors for them that they never thought possible.

I feel that participants who can talk with someone who has gone through a similar experience help them to listen not just with their ears but with their hearts.
