Life before Mercy was miserable. I was sexually abused and became consumed with depression, suicidal thoughts, bulimia, and self-harm. I had no hope and didn’t think things could ever change for me. I found Mercy on the internet and decided to apply.

Since I’ve been at Mercy, I have learned that God truly loves me and that He has good things planned for my future. He has shown me joy and peace. Before, I was confused by lies but now I know God’s truth. I have hope and freedom from my past.

After graduation I will be getting back to work. I also want to get involved in politics, working with sexual abuse and sex trafficking victims. Coming to Mercy was the best decision I’ve ever made. God truly transforms lives here.
