One day the phone will ring at RoseHaven. A terrified woman and her children will need a safe place to spend the night, one where they can't easily be found. You will be the voice on the phone, offering hope, kindness, and support. Your work may take you to the courtroom, the hospital, the administrative office - you are a critical part of the team. You will give of your time, your talent, and your spirit. In return, we offer the most rewarding experience of your life an opportunity to be there to feel the heartbeat - to know you made a difference in a life. 

Believe me, this work will steal your heart! 

Rosemarie Boyd, Executive Director
 

The welfare of each and every woman and child who come to RoseHaven is the utmost concern. Love, care and personal attention is essential during a crisis situation. It is the goal of RoseHaven to provide women with the necessary tools for surviving abuse, neglect, and pressure from family, friends, and community. 

We deal with feelings of being alone and offer guidance with compassion and concern while promoting emotional and spiritual healing. Problems are never treated lightly and are handled with care and empathy. 

We can assist during a crisis pregnancy; teach parenting skills; restore and transform the abuse victim with new feelings of self esteem and prepare her for returning home. All this is done through counseling, support groups, and accountability. When a woman returns to society and the workplace, a new determination is realized to provide for herself and her family while rebuilding her life.

Southeast Christian Church Great Days of Service May 19, May 26 and June 16, 2007
Many, many thanks to the 19 volunteers who came out for Southeast Christian’s ALIVE Classes’ annual Great Day of Service volunteer work. One day turned out to be three, as there was much to do at both RoseHaven I and RoseHaven II. These awesome volunteers were tireless. At both houses, they completed pressure washing and weatherizing the house and decks, painting both houses, and spread fresh mulch at both grounds, too!! What an incredible job you all did. We thank you so much for your sacrifice and perseverance!!

"Great Day of Service" September 24, 2005

Twenty college students took part in painting, mulching, and preparing RoseHaven I and RoseHaven II for the Fall.  We will now be able to install a heater in the enclosed porch area to provide a warm place for the children to play during the colder seasons of the year.   We are grateful for the support provided through Southeast Christian and their various ministries.
