Not long ago, I found myself at a crossroads — unsure of my next step, carrying the weight of past traumas, and searching for a space where I could feel safe, heal, and rebuild. That space turned out to be Marian House.

At Marian House, I wasn’t just given a roof over my head. I was met with compassion, structure, and the chance to rediscover who I am beyond survival. I’ve received support for my mental health, tools to reclaim my independence, and the encouragement to dream bigger than I ever thought possible.

Now I’m participating in the Marian House 5K Run and Walk not just for myself, but for every woman who deserves the same chance at healing and wholeness.

If you’ve ever believed in second chances — in the power of community — I invite you to support my journey and the journeys of many others like me. Every dollar makes a real difference.

Thank you for walking this path with me.
