Hello, my name is Marissa. Before the Mission, I was a mess and dealing with a lot of pain from my past - things that were done to me and my own choices and reactions to the pain. I went into the Mission's Hope for Women program on June 8, 2015, and graduated a year later. I worked hard and got my kids back. My life has been nothing but blessed since allowing God to come in and heal me. He will always be my foundation and my guide for everything in life. I am thankful to be working for the same program that I so proudly graduated from. It means so much to me to help women to see their worth through God's eyes. I know God will always use my experiences for good. I pray they will help other women in the program succeed.
