This beautiful letter was written by Anna.  She is an Hispanic woman who was a resident of RoseHaven for six months.  She came in with a five year old son also suffering from the separation of his father.

I first of all want to think God that brought me there.  When I came to Rosehaven I was loss, I was hurt.  I was angry, but along the way I realized that I was brought there for a reason way far from my understanding.

First of all I want to thank all the people that help me here.  I would never have done it without them.  Rosehaven to me was a major blessing.  I could see God’s working in my life through it.  I seen blessing after blessing pouring down to me, people who I didn’t even knew showing me how much they care and the most important thing no even realizing, I was healing inside.  I was leaving the pain and hurt and anger behind me.  God’s love was feeding my life to the point that by the time I got out I was ready to show that very same love to others and that’s a wonderful feeling.  Now I have made it through the storm, I praise God and give him the Glory and honor because he is an awesome God and I pray everyday that he keep me under his wings and never let go of me till his son returne.

I also pray for RoseHaven that the girls that are to come and go find the peace of mind and relieve in their hearts from the problems of this world just like I did.  I now continue my life moving on, waiting for a Savior that is soon to come and I think from the bottom of my heart to stay till I could fly again.  May God bless all of you.

Love you so,

RoseHaven has been such a blessing to me in many ways. When I moved in here, I was at the end of my rope financially. With the help of staff members, I have learned how to get a handle on my money. I know now not to spend money I don't have. I also received a referral and information about a housing program available to veterans of the Armed Forces. As a result of this referral, I will soon be moving to my own place closer to my work and social activities.

Thanks to RoseHaven, my outlook on life is much "rosier"!

God bless each and every person on staff and connected with RoseHaven.

Sincerely,
Betty

RoseHaven

The Resources are plentiful
In this house of love
With doors Open wide
And hearts wider still
With Support to the needy
Mind, body, and soul
Helping to Erase the pain
Finding the right path
Where Hopeful souls discover
The true meaning of family
And the Abundance of love
Reaches all around
To all Vulnerable hearts
Needing a helping hand
To Embrace always
No one turned away
From this Nurturing home
This House of Love

Dedicated to Sandy for always being there for me
