Our daughter Brianna is 15yrs old. She was a well rounded child until she turned 11. She has a beautiful singing voice, draws beautifully and is great at soccer. She was academically always at the top and never settled for a grade below an A. When she was almost 11 we started to notice she seemed sad quite a bit. She was uninterested in doing the things she loved. Her grades began to slip and she just couldn't seem to get through most days without a crying spell or outburst. We started taking her to therapy and tried every medicine and program our insurance would cover. Even some that were out of pocket. Nothing has seemed to help. One day I walked in on her trying to take her life. Each day since then I worry if the sadness and aloneness she feels will succeed in taking her away from us. As a parent we want to do everything possible to take their pain away. We have felt so defeated with all our efforts and no progress. So when someone shared their story about House of Hope and how it changed their life We knew we needed to see what their program was all about. After visiting House of Hope and meeting the staff we knew this is where Brianna needed to come to heal. Not just mentally but spiritually. To rescue herself from herself. To help her learn that she is an amazing person inside and out through prayer and therapy. We feel blessed that House of Hope is close enough for the entire family to participate in Brianna's healing as well as our own. Asking for help is hard but sometimes necessary. We are asking for your help in rescuing Brianna from the pain that is keeping her from finding her purpose and inner strength as well as from all the wonderful things she has to offer the world. We know that all things are possible with God. Will you please donate and share this post and help us get Brianna into the House of Hope as soon as possible. Thank you from her family and friends
