Keyona's Story

​Before starting my journey with Hope House back in November of 2014, my life was in disarray with little hope for the future.  It was a hard year for my children and me.  I remember feeling at my lowest about the time I found Hope House.  I came to Hope House seeking help with my electric bill that was about to be disconnected for nonpayment.  After meeting with the staff at Hope House and being blessed with funds for my electric bill, I was given the opportunity to be a part of a class called "Jobs for Life".  Oh, my, where do I start?  I am so grateful for the opportunity to have been part of this class!  Jobs for life taught me many valuable lessons and opened my eyes to many facts about life, and taught me what it means to be a successful employee.  I can honestly say my life has done a complete 180 in the right direction since joining and graduating from Jobs for Life.  I have since come into a greater and deeper relationship with the Lord, been steadily employed, and my children and I are the happiest we have been in a long time.  I sincerely thank all those at Hope House who have not only inspired me but have continued to challenge me to be better.  Through the strength of God, I will continue to be a blessing to Hope House as I feel forever indebted to them for their kindness.  I have also found a great church home since coming to Hope House, which has been a positive driving force in my family's life.  I pray my story blesses you richly today.  - Keyona
