What The Mary Elizabeth Inn Means to Me....

"When my time was almost up at the battered women's shelter I felt like I had nowhere to go except back to my abuser. The shelter staff told me about the Innroads program. Now I have a job and am saving for my own apartment. I think I would have been dead without this place. I thank God everyday for Mary Elizabeth Inn."

"I've been clean and sober now for two years. It was hard to find a decent place to live after I graduated from my recovery program. The Inn took a chance on me, and I'm grateful for that. I have a steady job now and a boyfriend. I feel like my dreams are starting to come true."

" I love it here, the Inn has helped me feel safe and secure and I never feel alone."

"I had a stroke and can't do heavy housework of cooking anymore. The Inn's been a good place for me to heal, and I've made some good friends here, too."
