Hope 4 Healing Hearts, Inc.

We, as a family, had never experienced any interaction with the penal system before this.  Bonnie and the group have provided invaluable information and support.  Everyone contributes their experiences to guide others through the process.          S.S.

When I first visited " Hope 4 Healing Hearts ", I was unsure and kept to myself .   I wasn't pressured to speak, but could just listen to the other attendees.  I was told that is OK.   Bonnie is such a caring, compassionate, “servant-leader ".   After going to a few meetings, I relaxed some.  At first I thought these people could not walk in my shoes, but I was wrong, if not in my shoes, they certainly have walked the same path.  Over time, we have all held each others hands to support each other as we continue to walk that path, moving on to recovery.       D.A.

Families of incarcerated loved ones often undergo immense suffering and very often feel isolated and alone.  The fact that others can share your hurt and provide resources is a God send.  Thank you, "Hope 4 Healing Hearts”, for providing genuine support and caring to families.  D.G.

Two years ago, almost to the date, my friend sent me a newspaper clipping from her local newspaper.  the article was titled "Someone to talk to".   "Thought you might be interested" commentated my friend.  I called the number listed, signed up for the 6 week workshop and now attend this life-saving,  support group. There is helpful information offered here that is for everyone.           SG

     I just wanted to tell you that I think that Hope 4 Healing Hearts is such a wonderful idea.  Where does family of the incarcerated go for support?  Although I live in West Michigan and cannot attend, I can always pray for you and your mission.  God Bless You.      MB

   I appreciate your beautiful message of hope and poems.  We all need all the help we can get.  My blessings to you and all who need this support.     LC

      I have a son in prison that will hopefully becoming home soon.  His depression, sadness and loneliness is so hard to live with day by day.  Without Jesus in our lives, I don't believe I could even bare it.  Thank you for your "healing words".  J&D

     My personal journey of trying to make sense of what happened to my son, that lead to his incarceration for such a very long time led me to this group.   What he and a high school friend did to change there lives and the lives of the many around them that were also affected, has now become much clearer, with the support and guidance of Hope4Healing Hearts.   It has given me an outlet; a place to share my experience with others.  A place that might help others begin  making sense of their life experience, and a place where they are not alone, in this difficult phase of their life, so they too can  go forward without shame or guilt.             P.T.
