I have been intimately involved with The Restoration House in many ways -- as a strategic planner who assisted in its initial formation, then later as a mentor, donor and board member. I have worked with more than 60 nonprofit organizations in my career, and this one stands out among them all... for the humble brilliance of its Executive Director, the research supporting the need for and effectiveness of its programming model and the commitment of its board, mentors, partners and surrounding community. The Restoration House does more than support low-income single mothers at a critical time; TRH helps stop the negative cycles that got them there... providing a brighter future for these moms and their children. The organization is a blessing to each individual who touches it..

The Restoration House of East Tennessee is a remarkable organization that strives to break the negative cycles that lead a woman down the path to becoming a low-income single mom. TRH doesn't just meet physical needs; the program includes a team of mentors to help encourage, build self-esteem and provide direction to these young women. The result is a true life change for these mothers and their children. TRH is tackling this chronic issue the only way it can be effectively addressed with lasting impact... one family at a time.

I have the pleasure of knowing a young woman who "graduated" from the TRH program. She is completely off of public assistance, has blossomed as a mother and has more self-confidence and a brighter future than she ever dreamed possible.
