"When I had nowhere to call home, you provided me with a home that has done more than you could ever imagine for my self-confidence and worth. I appreciate everything you have given me, and I can't thank you, ladies, enough for all the kind words and direction on how to live a healthy lifestyle. You all helped save my life, and I will be forever grateful."

“JPH was a huge help for my kids and me. I was going through a tough time, and I felt like I wasn't alone. I felt incredibly safe there. Because I was living there I was able to get my son help for his mental health. The change in him has been amazing. I am very grateful I was able to live at JPH and thankful for all the support my children and I received.”
