✨ Getting Into the Festive Spirit at HER House ✨

There’s something special about this time of year at HER House. The lights, the small traditions, the laughter — it all reminds us that healing doesn’t just happen in the hard moments, but in the joyful ones too.

As our ladies decorate the tree and create new memories together, we’re reminded that recovery is about rebuilding connection, rediscovering hope, and finding reasons to smile again. 💛🎄

We’re so proud of the strength and sisterhood that fills these homes — especially during the holidays. Here’s to celebrating growth, gratitude, and the beautiful new beginnings happening inside these walls every single day.

From all of us at HER House, we wish you peace, warmth, and a season full of joy. ✨

✨ HER House Community Request ✨

At HER House, we are always looking for meaningful ways to support our ladies as they rebuild their lives and step confidently into independence. Employment is such a powerful piece of recovery—it builds purpose, stability, and hope.

We are reaching out to our community partners, friends, and local businesses to see if anyone has current job openings or upcoming opportunities. Our ladies have varied skills, strong motivation, and a desire to work, and we are committed to helping them find roles where they can grow and thrive.

If you know of any positions—part-time or full-time—in the Fredericksburg/Stafford/Spotsylvania area, please feel free to comment below or message us directly. Your support truly helps change lives.

Thank you for believing in our mission and standing with the women of HER House. 💛

Today we give thanks for the strength, resilience, and courage of the women who call HER House home. Each day, they show what it means to choose healing, growth, and new beginnings—and we are honored to walk beside them on that journey.

We are deeply grateful for everyone who believes in our mission and supports the work we do. Your encouragement and partnership make it possible for us to provide a safe, stable, and empowering environment for the women we serve.

To the incredible ladies with us now, and to those we will welcome in the future—thank you for trusting HER House to be part of your story.

Wishing everyone a warm, peaceful, and grateful Thanksgiving.

So, you finished rehab. You’re sober now. Living in a recovery house. Waking up early to catch the bus to a job that barely pays the bills. You’re splitting a fridge with three other addicts, listening to them fight over food or relapse excuses, trying to stay focused on your own lane — your own recovery.

You’re hitting your meetings. Three a week. You’re sitting in folding chairs under fluorescent lights, listening to other people’s pain, trying to believe that maybe, just maybe, one day, yours will turn into purpose too.

And I know there are nights when it doesn’t feel worth it. When you’re sitting on the edge of your bed staring at the same four walls, thinking, "Is this really what I got sober for?" When the silence gets so loud it starts screaming your name. When giving up feels easier than fighting through another day.

But let me tell you something — it takes a rare kind of strength to do what you’re doing.

Because anybody can self-destruct. Anybody can run. Anybody can hide behind a bottle, a pill, or a pipe. But it takes a fighter to start from scratch and rebuild their life one day at a time.

You’re not weak because it’s hard. You’re not broken because it hurts. You’re becoming. You’re laying the bricks for a life that’s going to mean something.

That bus you’re riding to that minimum wage job? That’s not humiliation — that’s humility. That’s faith in motion. Every mile is proof that you’re not who you used to be.

That sober house that smells like burnt ramen and resentment? That’s your launching pad. That’s where your comeback story is being written.
And those meetings you drag yourself to? Those are your classrooms — where pain turns into wisdom, and strangers turn into family.

Listen to me — what God is building in you right now, in this season that feels small and insignificant, is going to blow your mind when it unfolds. You’re not just surviving this chapter — you’re being prepared for the next one.

You might not see it yet, but you’re a walking miracle in progress. A warrior in transition. A Rockstar in recovery.

So don’t quit now. Not when you’ve already made it this far. The world hasn’t even seen what you’re capable of yet.

I see you.
I’m proud of you.
And I promise you — if you just keep going, it gets better. 🫶🫶

Dear Government Officials, Stakeholders, and Community Members,

Investing in recovery and recovery support services is a proven economic and public health strategy that benefits us all. Every dollar spent on recovery saves taxpayers $4–$7 in healthcare, criminal justice, and lost productivity costs. It strengthens families, reduces healthcare strain, and builds a healthier, more engaged workforce.

Access to community-based self-help, recovery housing, and other social-model recovery services lowers rates of disruptions in recovery lifespan, boosts productivity, and empowers individuals to rebuild their lives. Dedicated government support for recovery services isn’t just compassionate—it’s a smart policy that drives economic growth and creates thriving communities.

Invest in recovery—it pays dividends.
