I was a single mother of two, pregnant and ready to move into my car to get out of an abusive relationship when I came across My Fathers House. Ever since then my life has been nothing but blessed. Since making this life changing decision and joining this community I have not only learned life/financial skills that will last me a lifetime. I have paid off ever bit of debit I had and I’m now saving to buy a house. I was a wandering lost soul and I couldn’t have asked for a better place to find myself again at. This place isn’t just a shelter it’s a home and the staff becomes your family.
I fled my home state after a violent relationship, which most people know, ends up leaving you defeated, hopeless and scared. Especially when you’re carrying your babies with you. From the moment we entered, my kids & I felt so welcomed, loved and seen. Their staff helps you organize your life via case management to get you back to who you are & always have been. Staff is compassionate, they keep it 100% real & truly care about each family there. Being there after what we went through was a huge blessing & I miss my MFH fam!!
Currently resident here and we absolutely love it the staff is great very welcoming environment so much help to get you back on your feet me and my kids were in a position of not having anywhere to go and my father's house welcomed us in very clean environment they are great here from the program to the classes and especially case workers ❤️❤️ she has been the best definitely would recommend this place to anyone looking for somewhere to go and get back on the right path
I was just getting out of treatment with my infant daughter and was recommended to go to MFH because of my circumstances. This place has helped me with a job, I’ve paid off my debt through classes provided and working with my case manager. I’ve also completed a rentwell class and saved up enough money on my housing fund through MFH to get my own place to live. I’ve reconciled my relationship with my two older children and family. The people at MFH truly do care about you and show it on every level. I do not know where I would be in my life without this place. I’ve learned so much and gained so many skills and tools to feel secure enough to be on my own and raise my children . This place is needed in our community.
In a time when I had nobody to lean on, MFH stepped in and stepped up and helped my little family. We wouldn’t be where we’re at if not for My Fathers House! ❤️
My Father's House is a much needed and appreciated facility which my daughter and I resided. The classes were most helpful, especially the Financial class. I would highly recommend MFH/SSA to single parents and family's. MFH goes above and beyond helping when your willing to put the effort into helping yourself.
The best way to describe my fathers house it would be life-changing. I went into my fathers house sad, lonely, and unsure of what my kids and I were going to do and Came out of there with my high school diploma, an amazing job, three beautiful content children that felt the love of all of the workers at my fathers house and most importantly my confidence and self-esteem was back. I watched my fathers house time and time and again lift people up, brush them off, and help them to succeed. Since moving on myself from there whenever I see a family in need or struggling I send them in the way of my fathers house. That place changed my life and I know I will continue to change other families lives also!
I really don't know where to start. It would sound like an over dramatic statement if I said something like "My Fathers House saved my life and kept my family from being torn apart" but in a very real way, they did. I had no hopes for a job when we (my ten month old son, his mother, and I) were evicted from our apartment. No relative or friend would take us in as a group and we were determined to stay together. We were told about My Fathers House and had a hard time believing it... it sounded too good to be true. But, thank God, it wasn't! We were treated with kindness and respect. No one EVER made me feel like I was being looked down on. I felt real love from everyone from the Exective Director to my Growth Leader ( who happened to be the E.D.'s husband :D ) to all of the staff and volunteers... they all REALLY wanted me and my family to succeed. When you are totally down and out, most of the time you really don't want/need a hand out. In most cases, what would be best is a hand up. At My Fathers House, that's exactly what we got.
Tell your story here and help others understand this charity My family was fortunate enough to have lived at the new building of My Father's House for about 4 months. The icing on the cake of instability was losing our housing situation in an unfortunate situation with our housemate. We spent about 3 months couch-surfing among relatives (me, my wife, and our 4 kids). I was still managing to hold down my full time job all the while. One day my wife mentioned something about this "father's house" place. I was willing to go see what they were about, so we set up an appointment with Sam. As our luck would turn out, it was probably the best thing to happen to us in YEARS. We are now over a year removed from our stay, and while the marriage is still on thin ice, we are definitely better off as people for having stayed at My Father's House. And as I swore to Cathe on the day we left, I will ALWAYS find some way or another to help out the shelter. And you should too! They just opened up their new apartment complex, and so the needs are greater than ever. But the help is burgeoning too. Cathe, Dan, Dougie, Heather, all the Staff, I love you guys and I won't ever forget what you've done for me and my family. Don S.

The important part in getting such loans is to find out the offer which suits you the best, you don’t want to be paying more for the same amount when you get it for less. A lot of companies have multiple plans for people with bad credit history. Once you have a basic information about them, its is best to get in touch with them regarding your case. There will be many who do not get into such business, there is no point getting in touch with them. They have special terms and conditions for people with a bad credit history. The boat financing industry is very aggressive and we value each and every customer. A direct debit allows the lender to take money from your secure account on a predetermined date.
