I honestly believe God led me here … If it weren’t for MorningStar, I’d still be sleeping in my car, not knowing where to turn. But they gave me a roof over my head. And they treat me like family.
– Debbie, Guest of the Women & Family Center

I’m starting to find myself again … Without the Mission, I don’t think I’d still be around. But now, my outcome of life is looking good.

When people land on hard times, it’s good to know somebody cares, even though they don’t even know us. When I get back on my feet, I will remember where I’ve been, and I want to do this for somebody else. Thank you!

I have no idea where I would have gone without MorningStar. I would have been sleeping outside, absolutely homeless.

I don’t know what would have happened without MorningStar. I’m just thankful I had this place to go to … Before we were here, I was under a lot of stress, and I think my son could sense that. But now that he sees I’m not under as much stress, he’s also not stressed. That makes me really happy.
