Freedom means so much more to Katt as she celebrates 4 years sober today!! 💟

Katt came to HHL with a prison sentence hanging over her head. Thankfully, the legal system gave her a chance at rehabilitation and allowed her to come to sober living.
Although she was entirely willing to do whatever was required of her to avoid prison, she was still overcome with fear masked as anger and aggressiveness.
As she applied herself to all the avenues of support we require and offer to our clients, Katt dropped the veil of anger and she has bloomed into one of the most caring, compassionate, and helpful people. She graciously accepted a peer leadership position as house manager.
She served in this role in numerous MHASL homes on the basis of being helpful.
Upon her transition out of HHL, she continued to serve the sober living community by working as a Peer Support. Today she continues to help our relatives in need in the MHA behavioral health program.
We are so proud of her and thankful for all she does! 👏
✨HAPPY 4 YEARS TO YOU!✨

“OMG!!! 4 years of continuous sobriety. Who in the world would’ve ever thought? I know I didn’t.
4 years ago I was preparing for prison or death. My whole life I was searching for happiness and looking for peace, trying to find it in a bottle or in drugs.
4 years ago I prayed hard for something to change because I knew I couldn’t do it by myself. I just never imagined this would be the road I’d be on, but I’m so thankful for it. A God of my understanding stepped in and gave me another chance at life.
Today I stand on a foundation built from faith, peace, and gratitude. The road here wasn’t easy, but I made it — and I didn’t do it alone. Healing Hearts Lodge and MHASL are places where I learned accountability and how to be a better person: a friend, a sister, an auntie, a coworker, a mom, a daughter, and a grandma.
Today I have integrity. I have peace. I have faith. I have love and kindness.
I couldn’t have done any of this without my Creator and recovery.
All I have to do is keep coming back”. 💛

Our soup bar was a HIT thanks to all of your support! Thank you to everyone who cooked, visited, shared/liked our flier 🫶🏼
Your support makes a huge difference in the lives of our women and kiddos here.

Healing Hearts strives to support our clients and their children in as many ways as possible - sometimes our budget doesn’t cover unexpected costs such as emergency travel, necessities for new clients in need, registration for recovery events, presents for the children during the holidays, and so much more.
These fundraisers help offset those costs.

Have a happy Friday and have a blessed weekend!

💟 2 YEARS OF LIFE TODAY 💟
Dondra is celebrating two years of sobriety today! 🎉🎉

The road to recovery was rocky and unsteady at times, especially in the beginning. Finding a new way to live is one of the toughest tasks one can take up in life, but its rewards & blessings are worth it all.
Instead of putting all her efforts into addiction, Dondra directed those efforts towards her recovery-which involved sobriety, motherhood, and work, among other things. Her hard work and dedication gave Dondra a new zeal for her new life. The process of undoing her old life appeared graceful to those on the outside.
It has been such a privilege to watch Dondra learn & grow into the woman she is and still becoming 💗
Congratulations 🎉

“Thank you Creator for the life I have today 🙏 Grateful for all the beautiful blessings and the struggles it took me to get to where I am today. Grateful for it all... thank you MHA recovery for all of the guidance and tools u gave me to fight for the life I was always meant to live. Thank you Healing hearts lodge for taking me and my daughter in and being the family we never had. So grateful for all of you ladies.. love you all!”

Happy 3 years to Alexa!
Three years ago, Alexa had reached the point of desperation that so many of us face. Running out of options, Alexa sought escape in a place she had been before. Her willingness to ask for help regardless of her fears has brought her further in life than she could have ever expected.
Alexa carried herself with grace and eagerness to help her fellows and their children while at Healing Hearts. She is a favorite among the kids especially. She served as a house manager while residing here and after moving into a home of her own, she served as our receptionist. She really made the Lodge feel like home.
We are so proud of how far she has come. Congratulations Alexa, happy 3 years! 👏

“Healing hearts lodge
Today I celebrate 3 years free of drugs and alcohol. I wouldn’t have made it this far without the help of my family, my brothers/sisters in recovery, being able to work in recovery, and helping other people just like me. Healing hearts lodge gave me the tools to live a life committed to sobriety. Living there taught me how to become a better woman/sister/mother I am forever grateful to be hhl alumni.”

We would like to congratulate Asa today, as she celebrates 2 years in recovery!

Like many of us on this path, Asa wasn’t completely sold on this idea of sobriety or sober living. Also like many of us, her life circumstances made her open up to the idea and she entered our doors in 2024 - still very hesitant, unsure, and guarded.
The doorway to willingness was cracked open and gradually she became more & more willing until she finally opened herself up to all that this program has to offer and accepted the help that was given to her.
Asa dove in and has not looked back since. Her life has blossomed into something so beautiful. It is nothing short of a miracle considering the fact that she almost missed out on the beautiful life she has today with her beautiful son and family. She has shown exceptional growth and graciously accepted a peer leadership position as house manager - to which she continues to serve as today in HHL. She is such a friendly new face for all the new women and their kids who come to HHL. We are so grateful and proud of Asa! Congrats again!!

“Two years ago I was finally tired of living a life that was slowly killing me. I was completely hopeless and filled with fear of taking the steps to better myself but I knew something had to change for my son and I. By the grace of god I get to celebrate two years of continuous sobriety! Since arriving to Healing Hearts Lodge I have been able to gain a relationship with my high power and have been able to reach out and ask for help when needed. It’s because of this program I have been able to accomplish so many of my goals and that wouldn’t have been possible if it wasn’t for god and this AMAZING PROGRAM! My life has changed so much in these last two years but I still remember how I felt for so long but today I feel content, extremely happy, and at peace. I just wanna say thank you to my AMAZING sponsor, HHL, my family and friends for supporting and loving me while I’ve been on this journey! 💕”

💛 Celebrating 2 Years of Sobriety — Congratulations, Brooke! 💛

Today we are honored to celebrate Brooke, who is marking two years of continuous sobriety — a milestone built on courage, perseverance, and deep personal growth.

Two years ago, Brooke was exhausted by the cycle of homelessness, incarceration, and separation from her family. She found herself at a crossroads, carrying grief, loss, and the weight of choices that no longer aligned with the life she wanted. In that moment, she made a brave decision to say enough and to choose recovery.

Through structure, accountability, service, and a willingness to show up even when it was hard, Brooke began rebuilding her life one day at a time. Her journey led her to Healing Hearts Lodge, where she continued growing in independence, stability, and purpose. Today, she is present in her children’s lives, grounded in recovery, and living proof that transformation is possible.

Brooke’s story reminds us that even in the most painful and confusing moments, hope still exists — and choosing recovery can change everything.

Please join us in celebrating Brooke and her two years of hard-earned sobriety! We are so proud of you and grateful to walk alongside you. 💛

✨ Even though addiction may run in families, so can recovery ❤️‍🩹
