“Coming to Mary’s Shelter has changed my life. It took me a long time to realize that if I wanted to change, I would have to suck up my pride.  Since I’ve been at Mary’s Shelter I have so much help and support.  A lot of people in my past gave up on me because of my attitude but not Mary’s Shelter, they gave me a chance, and I can never fully say thank you for but I can thrive in everything I put my mind to.  I go to church every Sunday, God has shown me I am loved and that I am perfect just the way I am, before this I barely prayed.”
