Since using the shelter’s services, Mallory, now 31, has five daughters, studies theology and works as a peer recovery coach helping people who struggle with addiction and trauma.
“It’s changed my life,” she said regarding Mary’s Shelter. “It gave me a new start. I didn’t have to give up or get rid of a child that I knew I wanted just because things got hard. I didn’t have a support system.”
At age 25, Logan Wilkins also found Mary’s Shelter in a time of hopelessness. Wilkins told Crawford she used to sleep behind a dumpster when she was eight months pregnant to survive.
“It was really difficult,” she said. Wilkins now works as a scheduler and hopes to receive her medical billing and coding certification this year.
Kathleen Wilson, who founded the shelter 16 years ago, said more than 300 women have stayed in the agency’s homes.
“We turn no one away because we know that their situation at that moment is just that desperate,” Wilson told Crawford.
