Shawna - October 2026

When Jesus met the woman at the well in John 4, He offered her something that would never run out—Living Water. She went there for a basic need but experienced a miracle. Shawna had a basic need, too. In her third trimester of pregnancy, she found herself struggling in recovery from addiction in need of shelter and a sober-living environment. Like the woman at the well, she, too, was searching for something basic, but needed a miracle.  She found it at Washington Family Hope Center. 

“I was worried about losing my son, just not sure what to do. But now I know that I’m doing good. It’s beautiful. I’m raising a smart kid; he’s got loving people around him. I love that for him.”

It was the miracle of Christ’s love demonstrated by the staff and volunteers at Washington Family Hope Center that has both inspired and encouraged Shawna. After seeing other moms going to school and working, she decided it was possible for her, too. She now works full-time as a pharmacy technician, providing for her children and finding fulfillment in her work. 
Because of your support, the ministry work at Washington Family Hope Center is changing the trajectory of lives for moms and kids. It’s a place where mothers like Shawna find more than shelter, but the miracle of Living Water.
