Welcome

The purpose of this organization is to allow abused woman and their children, if they have children, to start over-mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually through help from volunteers we have recruited and other organizations that are willing to help.


There will be numerous opportunities for the woman including but not limited to: group meetings, substance abuse counseling, mental health treatment, transportation, and help to get employed if they are not already.


Feel free to contact Her Fork In The Road with any questions.


Thank you.

Blessings Galore

As I'm sitting her typing away on my laptop that doesn't necessarily always turn on when I want it to, I'm thinking to myself, "Thank you God. I have a computer. I have access to endless amounts of information that continues to expand my knowledge of the beauty of nonprofits. Thank you." I'm also thinking about the girls whom I spoke to last night at Vista Maria, who didn't have anything really. I'm thinking about the donated clothes they were wearing and the donated love they receive from the volunteers who work there, and people like myself, who come speak there. I'm thinking about the 12 year old little girl who didn't have much of a choice but to get addicted to heroin because of her father who abused her and her mother who got her hooked. I'm thinking about the past 23 months since I ever put a needle in my arm and how blessed I am today to be able to give away what was so freely given to me. I'm thinking about how excited and blessed I am to even be able to start Her Fork in the Road and help women who otherwise wouldn't have a chance. I'm thinking about the emotional, mental and spiritual rewards that will come from this experience. I'm thinking about how amazing my future will be knowing that life isn't about money, cars or clothes. I'm thinking about how amazing my future will be know that life is about the people you care for and the people that care for you. I'm thinking about God and how good He is to me today. I'm thinking about the last 21 years and knowing in my heart that I am the luckiest 21 year old on the planet and that, in my life, there are blessings galore.
