Meet the “Characters”

The one regret I have with the book is that I did not include photo’s of the individuals who contributed to the book.  Below you will find photo’s of some of the characters.

 

Karen’s dream: To open The Healing Place for women in Richmond, and to develop an employment program that will help clients move from emergency shelter to long-term stability.

Aileen’s dream: To be liaison between the different members of the foster-care team (biological families, social workers, and foster parents).

Lakisha’s dream: To give back to the community by helping others.

Martha’s dream: To see God finish the dream that has grown out of Boaz & Ruth – making Highland Park a healthy village where there is safe, affordable housing and job opportunities in the community. I also hope my successor will help to take the Boaz & Ruth model into other cities.

Charles’s dream: To help those in recovery overcome the barriers they face to long-term stability and bring hope to those who feel defeated and forgotten.

Rosalind’s dream: To help other women who feel trapped discover the power of God that can set them free no matter what their past or present circumstances may be.

Tammy’s dream: To see Hillside Court become a beacon of light and hope for all – both for its residents and those who come across the bridge from the churches.

Sharon’s dream: That other women trapped in relationships with addicts will find the strength to focus on their own needs.

Phyllis’s dream: To speak a message of hope to a multitude of hurting outcasts: those who are in hiding in the crack houses, in the shelters, and in the prisons because no one remembers them.
