Portraits of Hope
Why do we share stories?
Portraits of Hope is a way these stories can be heard and
we can be reminded that restoration is possible, and lives
and families can be healed.
Meet Jennifer
“Since I’ve been here, it’s a completely peaceful, freeing feeling. I just feel like me. And I didn’t know what that felt like. I didn’t know who I was before and I felt like drugs were who I was, but that’s not me anymore.”
Meet Samantha
“My rock bottom moment was when I had nobody on my side and realized that my nephew was a month old and no one had called me or told me. I went onto Facebook and saw it. That was heart-shattering.”

Meet Alyssa
“For a long time I felt like I couldn’t take care of her, but I’m starting to feel empowered to be the mom I know I can be.”
Meet Lanessa
“Since being here, I've gotten to know myself better. I’m able to be still and let God work in my life. I don’t run anymore.”
Meet Amanda
“When I didn’t want to live anymore. Becky from VRM reached out to me and said “come home.” I made a beeline for safety and I knew this place was safety.”
