Behind the thank you: Brooke’s story of healing

Brooke thought she had overcome alcoholism 12 years ago. But what she didn’t realize, was that she just replaced alcohol with other things.

She still didn’t feel loved or complete, so she tried to find her worth in her identities as a mom, a wife, even as a co-worker. But those didn’t give her the joy she wanted. And then she hit rock bottom.

“I lost myself,” she says. “I didn’t know who I was anymore.”

She relapsed. Everything she had worked for fell apart.

That’s when Brooke came to Shepherd’s Gate. She found healing and support that friends like you help provide. And most importantly, she discovered the one true thing that can fill her soul:

A true, meaningful relationship with God.

“I have searched for this kind of love all my life,” Brooke says.

Your gift to Shepherd’s Gate today will help other women like Brooke, break the cycles of abuse, addiction and homelessness that they’ve been trapped in.  Not only will their lives change, but the lives of their children will, too!
