We are incredibly grateful for the generosity of our donors who helped make the new Lake Country Dawson Home for Women possible. 💛

Because of your faithful support, lives will be changed, hope will be restored, and women will have a safe place to heal, grow, and experience freedom. This home represents more than a building - it represents new beginnings.

Thank you for believing in this mission and for walking alongside us as we help women find lasting freedom and purpose. We truly could not do this without you.
