Kim
Las Vegas, NV
2021
Kim was abused in the most unspeakable ways as a child.
She learned how to numb the pain early and was only eight years old when she started smoking and drinking. At age ten, she became addicted to meth.
“My whole family knew what was happening,” Kim recalls. “Whatever happened to your moms and grandmas happened to you.”
Kim began selling her body to get drugs or spending time in mental hospitals. “They always medicated me,” Kim says. Even though she had three children of her own, Kim couldn’t care for them. And she walked away from them when they were all under six years old. But deep inside, Kim was weary.
Finally, Kim had enough. She sought help at Hoving Home, and God was waiting for her with open arms.
“I showed up at the doors of Hoving Home, and staff was there to hug me,” Kim shares. “And that was the day I knew I was loved, I was saved, I was safe. I knew that was the day that my life was going to change forever. That was the first night I ever rested.”
After giving her life to Christ, Kim was transformed.
God poured His Spirit and compassion into Kim’s life, and she continued to grow. She graduated from Hoving Home and our Leadership Academy so she could serve in ministry.
And the family she thought she’d never see again; God began to restore.
“My children and I are all closer than ever,” Kim proclaims!
