“Being trauma informed to me is the link between my faith in Jesus, maintaining my sobriety and a life free from the root of bitterness through forgiveness. The ACE Overcomers class was offered at the Madera County Jail, while I was incarcerated. What an impact it has made in my life. I made my first real, healthy, sober, deep connection in my adult life while taking the ACE Overcomers class. This class helped nurture me, and set the foundation of a biblical self-image and the importance of persevering through tribulation. Because of your support, I will never give up. I am an Overcomer.”

Building Resilience Together
We are proud to be supported by organizations that believe in resilience, healing, and stronger families. While these grants and contracts make a powerful impact, community donations allow us to go further—reaching more families, expanding programs, and responding quickly to urgent needs.
