"Since joining the Renewal House Board I have received more from the experience than I could possibly give. The courage of the mothers in recovery is inspiring---the dedication of staff---motivating. Watching the children develop trust and hope for a safe and healthy future compels me to continue giving my time and financial support to this pivotal organization."
---Carolyn Cox-Hamlin
Freda's Story
"Because this was such an unfamiliar place to me, not the place itself but in my heart, I had to be reborn all over again. I had to learn how to walk in new places, talk differently, and even think a different way. It was not always easy for me, but I can honestly say, 'Life as I knew it, dark, sad, and full of despair, had become full of light, happiness, and full of hope!"
