Rebecca Found a New Life Thanks to Your Support of DRMM.

“When I first arrived at DRMM, I was pregnant and scared. But it didn’t take me very long to settle in. They did so much to take care of me and to help me transition to a new life.”

She can hardly believe it now, but when Rebecca first walked through the doors of DRMM, her life meant almost nothing to her.

Perhaps it was because her mother had died when Rebecca was just 6 years old. Or because the years she lived with her Grandmother, after her mother’s death, were so hard they even included a period of homelessness. Or because she was just 20 years old when her Grandmother died.

After her Grandmother passed away, Rebecca’s life began to spiral out of control. “I was using and selling drugs, and I was pregnant. Somehow, God brought me here,” Rebecca says.

Thanks to the generosity and compassion of friends like you, DRMM was able to take Rebecca in and guide her a down a new path in life. Your support provided the transitional housing, nourishing food, and counseling to overcome addiction and leave the hurts of the past behind.

Your kindness also provided the special care and safe environment that a mother-to-be desperately needs to deliver a healthy baby—a gift that very few shelters are able to offer. And as Rebecca’s pregnancy progressed, the healing of her body and spirit gave her a newfound joy and love for life—and an overwhelming love for the little life growing inside her.

At DRMM, Rebecca learned that she is loved enormously and completely. She learned that Christ died on the cross for her—for all of us. And that through His death, burial, and resurrection, He paid the penalty for our sin, making eternal life possible for all who believe in Him.

Suddenly, life meant everything! And just ten weeks after her arrival, Rebecca welcomed little Shane into the world. To her great relief, her baby was born healthy.

“I want to be the best mom in the world, and DRMM is helping me with that through parenting classes. I want to go to school, and they are helping me with that, too,” Rebecca says. “They are helping me transition to a new life.”

This Easter, Rebecca is thankful for friends like you who keep the doors open at DRMM, and she is deeply grateful for the new beginning you have given her and her son. “I want to thank the donors and tell them that their gifts are going to such a good cause. They are helping mothers and helping children here. They are helping me make a better life for my child.”
