On October 18th, 2020, I watched my Mother, my best friend, take her very last breath. Ever since that day, I became so lost and angry. A couple months after losing her, I lost my boyfriend to ten years in prison. I didn’t think happiness was even possible after that. I began to distance myself from my family and I wondered if they cared that I was hurting, instead of understanding that they were also hurting just as bad. I started to slack as a mother and gravitate towards friends and relationships that were not helping me. I’ll never forget the day I lost my job and didn’t talk to my family for five days. They became very concerned and put out a search for me and my son. The police department found me at the Dollar General and blocked my car in. I still did not believe I had a problem. I turned down the help and went back to my grandmother’s Where CPS was waiting and now involved. They wanted to drug test me. I didn’t want to face the reality, so I left my son with my brother and took off. I walked for so long that my legs became weak and they began to buckle. I could not take one more step. I was at my rock bottom. Then, through the East Liverpool Police Department, I was given a chance to go to a place called the Freedom Home. Ever since then, God has absolutely restored my life!!! My relationship with my son and my family is better than ever! God also placed many good people into my life that will always be there for me, no matter what. Now I thank God every day for His many blessings. Even when I had given up on myself, I know now that God never gave up on me! My broken heart has been healed and it was only through Jesus and everyone at the Freedom Home showing me the way to Him!
