Amanda’s Story | Union Rescue Mission

Amanda did things no one woman should have to do to survive on Skid Row. Hear more of her shocking and powerful story to learn what finally led her to seek a better life, and how she found acceptance and the ability to trust again at Hope Gardens.

I am praying for you, Amanda.

I have had the pleasure of meeting this beautiful woman, along with her daughter, Ivey. I miss her and Ivey immensely. I am praying for both of them. Amen!

I am not sure why you’d think that I am numb. I’ve wept every time I’ve watched or even told this story. I showed it last night in Albany, New York & fought back tears.

For everybody who needs help ;
Turn your way to God for help.
He will help you if you are honest to Him.
Stop addiction if you have one.
Do never prostitution, or stop it now, do never abortion, it is murder.
Read the Holy Bible for answers and consolatian.
Go to church, ask there for shelter included some work for money.
Pray God for forgiveniss of your sins through the powerful work of His Son Jesus Christ. Amen
To be in peace with God, should be the main wish.
Pray and work something normal if you can.
Best to you all. 🙏

How come there's always help for women but nothing for men.

[@powderandpaint14]

There is a lot of help for men, by this project is specifically for women as they are in most danger on the streets and no child should be living on the streets. It is usually the mother who is left alone with the children

Damn...

Andy is numb and probably doesn’t have to much empathy. I wouldn’t blame him
