A Season of Hope

Jeff and Amy have been familiar faces at Center of Hope since 2022. Both have overcome significant life challenges: Jeff has lived with disabilities and lost his father at a young age, while Amy’s battle with cancer resulted in a brain hemorrhage and partial blindness. After a stroke rendered her unable to work, she struggled with heavy drinking before meeting Jeff in 2019, whom she credits for helping her get back on track.

In 2023, Jeff and Amy faced a devastating loss when a fire destroyed their home in Horseshoe Bend, leaving them with nothing. They turned to Center of Hope, which provided essential support, helping them secure an apartment, clothing, and food—offering a glimmer of hope in their time of despair. During this challenging time, Jeff and Amy found solace in their faith and in the kindness of strangers. This outpouring of love reminded them that they were not alone and gave them strength to move ahead.

Determined to rebuild their lives, Jeff and Amy participated in the Center’s various classes and programs. Today, they are applying the valuable lessons they’ve learned to transform their lives. Their deepened faith has made them ambassadors for Center of Hope, inspiring others with their story of resilience. Now, they are committed to showing others the same kindness they received during their darkest moments. Their unwavering spirit serves as a beacon of hope for those facing adversity, reminding us all that, even in the face of hardship, there is always a way forward.
