Stories of Hope

Bring hope, healing, and lasting transformation.

At The City Mission, we often say that care does not begin when someone arrives on our campus. It begins the moment a mother, father, or individual finds the courage to reach out. This is the heart of our continuum of care. And it is your generosity that makes this uninterrupted thread of compassion possible.

Rooted in Faith,
Growing in Hope

Long before Ebony stepped through the doors of Laura’s Home, she was already carrying deep responsibility with courage and faith. As a mother of seven, she began each day anchored in prayer, determined to lead her children forward despite uncertainty.

When Ebony first reached out to Laura’s Home, she learned that space for a family her size was rare. Then the call came back … there was room. Ebony saw God’s hand immediately. “Coming here was the plan of God,” she said. “It’s a breath of fresh air. Just being here and it feels like family.”

“The love I have received at Laura’s Home has helped me move forward.”

The first day at Laura’s Home was filled with anxiety and emotion but during intake, peace settled in. “The comfort of the staff and residents, it was like a hug,” Ebony says. Here, her perseverance was met with safety, love, and the space to begin again.

Care for her children came quickly and with intention, bringing a sense of relief that settled deep in Ebony’s heart. With stability in place, her body and spirit finally had room to recover. “I’ve had the best rest I’ve had in a long time,” she shares. “I know we are safe and secure in this building.”

“I never thought this would be a part of my story, but I’m grateful and I’m in great expectation of what God is doing here at Laura’s Home.”

Healing began with consistency. Ebony wakes early to pray and journal each morning. Her children noticed the change as well. “They’re seeing a different side of me and what Christ looks like outside of Sunday,” she says. Faith now fills their room through worship, devotionals, and prayer, sometimes led by her children themselves.

Support at Laura’s Home lifts Ebony’s daily burdens so restoration can take root. Personalized case management, hot meals tailored to her family’s needs and even help securing birth certificates all removed weight from her shoulders to begin a new life. “A healed mom is a better mom,” Ebony says happily.

“Thank you for believing we can make it. The blessing of waking up and having everything we need, we couldn’t do it without you. I just say thank you.”

One Saturday morning, after asking God for a way to worship, Ebony went to breakfast. When a staff member learned she was a singer, an invitation followed. Ebony now serves on the praise team. “That was a deep moment for me to connect to God through singing,” she shares.

Today, Ebony looks ahead with clarity and hope. She dreams of lasting stability, a home of her own, and a future shaped by purpose. She hopes to move forward as a counselor, a business owner, and a devoted mother, equipped by the growth taking place now. “This journey has changed everything for me and my children,” she reflects. “I have unshakeable faith now and we are looking forward to see what God has planned for us!”
