Thank you Saint Jude The Apostole Catholic Church for donating Easter Baskets for all of our children in the IMLC 🐣🐰🌸🌼

Thank you @selfdiscoveryppp 🤍 we had the pleasure of hosting ms Venessa to discuss love language for self love. The ladies spoke about the importance of self-love in the face of recovery. Many ladies stated they don’t know how to love themselves and many if not more stated they did not receive love from their parents. They sought love in drugs, men and in toxic places. When you walk through the doors of Mary Hall you will see the quote “we will love you until you learn to love yourself.” We are all deserving of love and self love may not always be easy on the road to recovery but you will always have the love and support of the village with you!

Donate Today! 🐣🌸🌼🌿 Items are needed before March 27th! Thank you in advance.

From current participants to alumni to volunteers to sponsors our village runs deep 🤍

“I came to Mary hall freedom village in 2021 completely broken and with a black eye. I was homeless, hopeless, and actively dying. I was 7 months pregnant and only weighed 80 pounds. I had just given my 1 year old daughter to the emergency room DFCS worker begging for help. When I got to mary hall I didn’t even own a pair of clothes. All I had was paper hospital scrubs. No bag. No belongings. Mary hall wrapped me in their warm arms and loved me back to health. From the first hug I received upon admission I embarked on spiritual journey of healing. Shortly after I gave birth to my son who required major brain surgery at just 3 months old and mary hall helped me every step of the way. I began visits with my daughter, and now 2 years later have full custody of both my children. Mary hall gave me every supply and item I needed to raise a family, a closet full of clothes car seats and strollers. They offered me stable housing and enrolled me in a work readiness program that has helped me on my path to getting my registered nursing license. I work full time as a CNA at a nursing home and this is only possible due to the childcare and services they provide. This will be my 3rd Thanksgiving here and in 2 years of this the program I received my drivers license back and was able to purchase a vehicle. Today I am a healthy, active, and healed mother of 2 and am pouring back into the community and advocating for the new mothers that are coming behind me. Thank You, Mary Hall freedom village for loving me back to life.” -Megan

T.R.O.O.P.S., along with PCCI, and Hope Atlanta, was proud to be part of the Atlanta Affordable Housing: Communities in Action Group, which planned and held a landlord engagement event at the Atlanta Botanical Garden. This event, which is part of a nationwide initiative by the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans, and was sponsored by The Home Depot Foundation, educated landlords in the Atlanta area about the benefits of working with these organizations to accept housing vouchers designed to get homeless Veterans and their families off the street. #maryhallfreedomvillage #thehomedepotfoundation #nationalcoalitionforhomelessveterans #projectcommunityconnections #hopeatlanta #usdolvets #homelessveterans

It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of the passing of our beloved Elise Taylor. Her warm presence, compassionate nature, and loving spirit touched the lives of all who knew her. As we grieve this profound loss, we kindly ask that you join us in keeping Elise’s family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult transition. May her memory be a source of solace and inspiration for us all.

D’Juana sharing some of her story with the Music and a Mission audience. We are learning to love ourselves, we’re growing, educating and taking steps every day to be better than the day before. It’s a process. Recovery is possible. Women do recover. We are so thankful for our community. It takes a village.

Thank you Phyllis for sharing your story with us. Mary Halls doors will always be open thanks to help of our community supporters.

Veteran Recruitment Counselor Samuel Sellars and Program Manager Nicole Lumpkins are in Washington, D.C. for the annual three-day National Coalition of Homeless Veterans Conference. Second Picture: T.R.O.O.P.S. Program Manager, Nicole Lumpkins addresses a group of homeless Veterans service providers at the annual National Coalition of Homeless Veterans conference in Washington, D.C. During today's Serving Special Populations: Local Solutions panel, Nicole provided insight on how the Mary Hall Freedom Village employment program, which is funded by the U.S. Department of Labor- Veterans Employment and Training, helps Homeless Female Veterans and Veterans with Children overcome homelessness and significant barriers- including a lack of child-care and Military Sexual Trauma- to find employment that pays self-sustaining wages. During the second quarter of this year, T.R.O.O.P.S. helped 13 Veterans find employment with an average wage of $18.37. This calculates to an annual salary of $36,905.33, which is: • 270% above the Federal Poverty Guidelines (FPG) for an individual in Atlanta • 201% above the FPG for a family of 2 • 160% above FPG for a family of 3

Already thinking about the next bowling challenge 🤍❤️🎳

2023 Corporate Bowling Challenge 🎳

2023 Corporate Bowling Challenge What a night! Thank you to all of our corporate sponsors for donating your time, treasure and talents. Thank you to @midtown_bowl for being the best hosts. Thank you to our staff and the women of Mary Hall Freedom Village. We are so grateful. Our hearts are so full ❤️

Before she enrolled in T.R.O.O.P.S., Maria, an honorably discharged Army Veteran who served from 1981 to 1987, was living on the streets of Pittsburgh, PA. But after a violent encounter in the park, she called home, Maria felt “homeless, hopeless, and didn’t want life anymore.” Eventually, Maria moved to Atlanta for safety and “ a better opportunity.” Upon her arrival in the Peach State, she went to the Veteran Administration’s (VA) Community and Resource and Referral Center (CRRC) at Fort McPherson. From there, she was assigned to transitional housing at Mary Hall Freedom Village (MHFV) through the VA’s Grant Per Diem program and was referred to T.R.O.O.P.S. by MHFV’s Veterans Programs Case Manager. While enrolled with T.R.O.O.P.S., the staff helped Maria develop an Individual Employment Plan, and provided her with a new resume, interview skills, work clothes, focused job leads, and supportive services funds, which allowed her to use public transit to get to and from job fairs, and interviews. The encouragement, support, and the services Maria received from the staff at T.R.O.O.P.S. and their partners led her towards the path to self-sufficiency with not only one, but two jobs, and her own two year funded Supportive Services for Veterans Families (SSVF) apartment at the Veterans Empowerment Organization’s (VEO) new Veteran Community Apartments in Atlanta. When speaking about her journey from homelessness to newly housed and employed, Maria simply says that “God had blessed me.” According to Maria, her time at MHFV and T.R.O.O.P.S, allowed her to “get my life back,” and become “a responsible productive member of society.” Although Maria did most of the heavy lifting with her can-do spirit and never say die attitude, she credits T.R.O.O.P.S. with going “above and beyond the call of duty to assist me. I began to thrive with the love and support of Mary Hall [Freedom Village],” and for that “I am grateful and very appreciative.” T.R.O.O.P.S. will continue to follow Maria’s progress for a full year after she successfully met her employment goals.

Just over a month out from graduation! We can’t wait to celebrate another group of ladies who will graduate from our program and take another step forward on their recovery journeys! If you and your community would like to get involved in graduation this year send us a DM! #womedorecover #recovery #graduation #treatment #housing #sustainability #community
