Even the strongest among us need moments of rest—especially in times of vulnerability. At the shelter, women who have faced life’s toughest challenges can find a place of peace and renewal.
They may be strong, but they’re also carrying heavy burdens, feeling tired, and in need of deep care and support as they take steps to rebuild. This isn’t about weakness; it’s about offering a safe, secure space to pause, breathe, and find rest for their mind, body, and soul. With that rest, they rise—stronger, more resilient, and ready to face the future. Our dream is to make this a reality for strong women who need a place to find rest.
