Breaking the Cycle

Regina came to Ashure Ministry overwhelmed—her shoulders tense, her hands clasped tightly. Living on a fixed income, she struggled to keep up with bills, debt, and rising costs. But as Patricia, a caring case manager, listened, she realized the need went deeper.

Regina had recently lost an aunt she took care of and lived with. After her aunt's passing, her life unraveled. Her electricity had been shut off, and she had no way to pay the balance or set up the account in her own name. With no savings or support, she felt stuck and hopeless. That’s when Ashure Ministry stepped in.

Emergency funds restored her power and helped her start fresh. When Patricia shared the news, Regina smiled through tears, saying, “I can go home and make a warm meal.” After weeks of darkness and room-temperature food, that meant everything.

But the support didn’t stop there.

Regina joined Ashure’s Crisis Assistance Coaching Program, where she learned to budget, access resources, and rebuild stability. Her anxiety began to ease. She saw a doctor, started medication, and shared, “I’ve almost paid off my car—just three payments left. I even quit smoking. That money’s going toward my credit card now.”

Her lights were back on, her budget was balanced, and hope was returning. “I never realized how much I needed this,” she told Patricia. “Not just the help—but the way you’ve made me feel. No one’s ever shown me I mattered. Not like you all have.”

Because of donors like you, Regina—and others like her—aren’t just surviving. They’re finding hope, direction, and the truth that they are seen, valued, and not alone. Real change is happening—one life at a time.
