Natalie's Story

natalie

“When I first came to Gilead House I was at a very low point in my life. I had just come off being on an ankle bracelet for a year. I had eight felonies and my life had not turned out how I thought it would.”

“I was finally looking at life through sober eyes, everything was new, it was like being reborn and having to start all over from scratch...” Read more

Warm Thanksgiving Wishes...

In the quiet before the holidays start, we want to express how thankful we are for your support of the mothers and children at Gilead House. This has been a year of many blessings. We moved into our beautiful new home and have expanded to serve twice the number of homeless mothers and children. We couldn’t have done it without you. Every day we receive calls from moms in desperate situations, without hope and a place to live. It is the generosity of people like you that sustains Gilead House and allows us to nurture these families so in need of help. At this time of Thanksgiving, please consider a donation so that we can continue providing these much needed services. The moms and children, staff, and the Board of Directors wish you a very blessed Thanksgiving to you and your family.

The new Gilead House Is Completed
The Vision Becomes a Reality...

New House

Gilead House still needs your help
reaching the goal - making debt-free a reality!

Gilead House friends and family participated in a season of prayer and fasting on behalf of the program November 6-13, 2011, We give thanks and praise for all God has done among us over the 12 years Gilead House has served homeless moms and kids. But, we have an immediate concern. When we purposed to build this house it was with much prayer, research and planning. The foundation of this plan was a commitment to build this house and occupy it debt free. The Lord has graciously provided us with money, volunteer workers, and donations to cover almost all of the cost.

We are seeking God's face for the last $400,000. The alternative is an annual debt payment of over $40,000 and a large immediate expense in originating a loan. Our ability to serve families effectively will be hampered if we need to raise that amount of money for the next 15 years in addition to the on-going operating costs for the program. We know God can provide the needed funds before Dec. 31, 2011! We are thankful for and appreciate those of you who were able to join us during this time.

Thank you so much for the part you play in making Gilead House a reality.

Sincerely,

Jacque's Signature

Gilead House provides a respite in the chaotic lives of the moms and children who come there to work towards realizing life changing goals. In many cases, Gilead House is the only safe and nurturing environment they have ever known. The staff assists the moms in assessing their needs, then in identifying and outlining realistic goals which will help move their families along the path towards independence. We at Gilead House believe that unconditional love is the most powerful tool we use in helping these families create a stronger, more sustainable future.

Our program is rounded out by a legion of volunteers who provide Life Skills classes, child care, house maintenance, tutoring, prayer, grant writing, events and mentoring. To become a member of the Gilead House family is to be fed by the uplifting blessings that selfless giving brings. One cannot actively participate in the positive transformation of deserving lives without being transformed as well.
