Rachel was so lost in a 30-year toxic relationship with drugs and alcohol. She has been in and out of jail for so long that eventually she hit rock bottom and found herself homeless. By the grace of God, she found a business card that led her to the Rescue Mission. Her life was changed the moment she called and was led to the Navigation Center. The Navigation Center helped place Rachel in a home. Thanks to these efforts, Rachel was in the Hope for Women program within a month.

Ten months later and Rachel is now faithfully attending church at Gateway and stays connected to the Hope for Women program. The program showed her that it is never too late. Now, Rachel is employed and says she has the opportunity to gain the respect of others. God has been restoring everything that was taken from her. She can now face her children and grandchildren without feeling ashamed or worthless. Rachel is grateful for people like you, who support the Mission and make it possible for the Hope for Men and Women program to help others find HOPE.
