About
CORE VALUES:
We believe that:
- Self respect and dignity is essential to overcome the challenges of homelessness, substance abuse and child neglect.
- Single mothers and their children need more than just food, shelter and clothing to regain confidence and reestablish themselves as productive members of society.
- Children whose mothers are affected by substance abuse have emotional, social, mental and physical issues that must be addressed.
- Women who maintain their recovery cans sustain self-sufficient and productive lives.
- The vicious cycle of substance abuse can be broken by spiritual and recovery support.
