Where can a girl go when not even one drug rehab facility
will accept her?
Twenty-one year old Lena had already seen the inside
of more than one jail, delivered two children, and experienced
more abuse than many of us have even heard of. She was
thrown in jail for possession of drugs in Denver while
on a road trip from Tennessee to Washington. Her daughter
was with her and was sent to foster care back in Tennessee.
 At
this point, Lena knew she needed help, but did not have
money or insurance for drug rehabilitation. A Christian
counselor recommended Open Door Ministries’ Chayah
House.
She moved in and now says,
“The love is what kept me here.”
She accepted the Lord as her Savior and felt really
loved for the first time in her life.
And look what the Lord has
done!! Lena is now on staff at Treasure House after
being clean and sober for more than four years! “I
want to give back what was given to me. I feel like
God has called me to minister to women with broken hearts
and broken lives like I had.” |
