"I want to give my deepest appreciation to OATH Recovery for helping me with my new home. I want to give a special thanks to the staff of OATH for supporting me and never hesitating to show up and meet every need I have. It is because of them and my Lord and Savior that I am where I am today."

With their help, I was able to leave a domestic violence situation, get my own apartment, and finally have a safe and peaceful place to call home. My journey hasn’t always been easy, but I’ve learned that my past does not define my future and that starting over can be a sign of strength. I’m grateful to OATH Recovery for helping me believe that I deserve safety, stability, peace, and a life I can be proud of."
