SHINE & SHARE MOMENTS

Where would we be without our helpers!

A huge thank you to Jeremy Biggs, Cynthia’s husband, for coming to our rescue to repair the boutique sign just in time for our Give4Marion preview event — Purses & Petals! Your willingness to step in and serve behind the scenes helps make moments like these shine.

Brave Women, Bold Healing: Another group of courageous women completed their 12-week Trauma Reboot journey—twelve weeks of honesty, healing, and hope. Each one faced her past with courage and chose freedom over fear. What a beautiful reminder that transformation happens when we dare to begin again. 🌿(top right)

Milestone Moment: Congratulations to our first participants to complete our newest class, The Anger Management Workbook! Throughout the program, women explored the roots of anger, discovered how it often masks deeper emotions, and practiced new tools for self-regulation, empathy, and healthy expression. The growth and insight shared in this group remind us that transformation begins with understanding.

After six months of Christ-centered healing and stabilization, one young woman has reunited with her daughter in a new program where they can live together again. A powerful reminder: when God rebuilds the foundation, families are restored.

The amazing woman on the right celebrated her first birthday in sobriety — and her first 90 days clean and sober! Surrounded by a circle of support that’s quickly become like family, she’s embracing a new season of hope, healing, and joy.

Seventeen Years Strong! The program works if you work it—and our very own Cynthia Biggs is living proof! In September, Cynthia celebrated 17 years clean and sober, a milestone that stands as a beautiful testimony of God’s restoring power and the perseverance of the human spirit. We are beyond proud of her determination and deeply grateful to have her on our Care Team, where she pours her experience, strength, and hope into the lives of the women we serve every day.
