For as long as she could remember, Jennifer\u2019s life had been unspeakably awful. When she was at her very lowest\u2014nearly dead from attempted suicide\u2014God made Himself known to her.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

After decades of abuse, rejection, abandonment and misery, Jennifer was hopeless. She believed her life could never get better \u2026 so she decided to end it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI jumped off a second-story balcony headfirst,\u201d she says. Jennifer spent the next six weeks in a coma. When she awoke, she instantly knew only one thing: \u201cGod had saved me for something better.\u201d Though she had never been religious and never went to church, she began her faith journey right at that moment. It was the first feeling of hope she had experienced in many, many years \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Broken Childhood, Dysfunctional Adulthood<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Jennifer grew up in Brooklyn, New York, with an alcoholic father. While his drinking caused complications for the young girl, he did at least love her. One day when she was 10, her mom \u2014 who had never been in her life \u2014suddenly appeared and kidnapped Jennifer, bringing her to Phoenix. Because of his drinking, Jennifer\u2019s father was unable to involve the legal system to recover his daughter.

\u201cWhen I was torn from him, it felt like my life was over,\u201d Jennifer remembers. \u201cMy mom was a cocaine addict, and she was prostituting. I had to walk the streets with her for hours on end.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPhoenix Rescue Mission means everything to me. They\u2019ve given me all I needed to recover \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the hopelessness of suicide to new life in Christ, Jennifer is a transformed woman. Now, she uses her past trials and tragedies to encourage the other women at the Mission.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Not surprisingly, Jennifer was rarely in school, and she developed serious problems. She began using marijuana and alcohol. At 15, she met a man in his thirties who became the father of two of her children, but he molested their younger daughter and went to jail. That betrayal broke Jennifer\u2019s heart, made her feel like a failure as a mother, and she started using drugs heavily.

In the decades that followed, she endured one abusive relationship after another, suffering through violence, addiction, poverty and most every other hardship imaginable. When she could no longer take it, she attempted suicide.

Thankfully, God saved her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning a New Life<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe doctors told my kids I wouldn\u2019t make it. When I did, they told me I would never walk again. I had to relearn how to walk and eat and talk. But I\u2019ve been sober since that day,\u201d Jennifer says. Once she got out of the hospital, she moved in with her daughter and began looking for a place that would help her grow in faith and transform her life. She found Phoenix Rescue Mission online and felt drawn
here. Now, it\u2019s clear why:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGod has done so many amazing things for me at the Mission,\u201d Jennifer says. \u201cHe has taken
resentment out of my heart. He has made it easier for me to forgive. He has taken my anger and confusion and given me my life back.\u201d

Today, Jennifer has never been closer to her children. She loves pouring into them and into the other ladies at the Mission, encouraging them through the pain she understands intimately. Her heart is filled with gratitude for people like you who\u2019ve made this transformation possible: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPhoenix Rescue Mission means everything to me. They\u2019ve given me all I needed to recover, from clothes and food to counseling, education and different types of work therapy. They have changed my life forever, and I\u2019m so thankful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
