Difference Makers: Winter 2024

Thanksgiving and Christmas can be particularly challenging for our residents as many of them miss their families deeply. That said, we do our best to create an environment here full of love, compassion, and joy while acknowledging that for most of our residents, this holiday season will feel different than the past. Thanks to many volunteers and their earnest effort, our campus has turned into a winter wonderland! Our women and children get to enjoy Christmas decorations in the comfort of their homes, and it is likely that some of them are experiencing this for the first time.

We had an exciting, but big undertaking to tackle this summer - moving into the new barn on our campus. Thanks to many of you, we were able to build and move all of the furniture into the barn within our desired timeframe! We are well aware that we could not have done it as efficiently without all of our volunteers’ help. Our residents now get to enjoy the peaceful barn because of your hard work.

We are so appreciative of the many churches, clubs and organizations that have rallied around The WellHouse to help with facilities projects on our campus. This Spring we had seven different groups join us, adding up to nearly 100 volunteers. They tackled tasks such as staining, updating signage, picking up trash, attic organizing, pressure washing, deep cleaning and clothes sorting. We are so grateful for the many hands that made light work!

We are so grateful to the wonderful women who lead trauma-informed yoga, art therapy, bible studies, sewing/knitting classes, and bible journaling weekly. Our programming is made more holistic, creative, and effective because of you.

Twenty-five women and eight children are currently being served on The WellHouse campus, and we know it takes a village to treat their trauma in a holistic way. Our volunteers step into gaps daily and we couldn’t be more grateful for their support. Two new volunteer-led classes have begun on campus! Our new Bible journaling class has been a wonderful way for residents to experience the living and active Word of God using their creativity.

30 women and girls are currently resting and pursuing healing at The WellHouse. And, each of them is worthy and deserving of a magical Christmas. Thanks to our wonderful volunteers, each one will experience just that! It is a joy and privilege to be reminded daily of the true meaning of Christmas, and I am confident the women and girls at The WellHouse will see Christ in all they receive this season.

We have a special place in our heart for Penny Billings here at The WellHouse. She has been a volunteer for about three years now, and we are very thankful for the vast work that she has done. Working with ministries like The WellHouse, you learn quickly that while plans can be a good thing, opportunities from God are so important to look for, and that is exactly how Penny came to us.

Cindy began working with the transport team, helping drive ladies to various medical and dental appointments. She was surprised at how the conversation flowed. “We would chat all the way to and from the appointments,” said Cindy. “I didn’t ask questions about their trauma. It was more like a friendly, casual conversation. I was surprised by how quickly the girls made their way into my heart, though. Before long, I knew with certainty that The WellHouse was a place God wanted me to serve.”
