The moment a resident receives her first real paycheck.
The joy of a mother reuniting with her children. The
quiet confidence that grows as women begin to see
themselves differently.

“These women are incredibly brave,” she says. “They are
willing to face the hardest parts of their lives and do the
work to build something new.”

Shanna herself was recently honored as one of Nexstar
Media’s “Remarkable Women,” selected from thousands
of nominations across the country. The recognition
brought national attention, but she is quick to redirect the
spotlight.
“This work isn’t about me,” she says. “It’s about the
women and what God is doing in their lives.”

possible. Over time, they discover healing, purpose, and
the courage to dream again.

For Shanna, watching that transformation never gets old.
“One by one,” she says, “lives change. Families change.
And the legacy they leave behind changes too.”
