Hope Alive

October is Depression Awareness Month, and throughout the month, we’ll be sharing a series focused on hope, encouragement, and support.

Depression can feel incredibly heavy, whether you’re experiencing it yourself or walking alongside someone you care about. Our hope is to create space for honest conversations about mental health while sharing simple, meaningful ways to cope, connect, listen, and support one another.

Most importantly, we want anyone who is struggling to know that you are seen, you are valued, and you do not have to walk through the hard days alone.

If you or someone you know is struggling, Hope Alive offers donation-based counseling and will never refuse anyone based on an inability to pay. You don’t have to wait until things feel unbearable to reach out for support. To learn more or connect with us, call 260-420-6100 or visit Hopealivefortwayne.org

🏠 Moving Help Needed! 🚚

One of our Hope Alive residents is getting ready for an exciting new chapter as she moves into her own apartment! We’re looking for a few helping hands to make her move a little easier.

She will be moving into a third-floor apartment, so we’re looking for volunteers who are able to help move furniture and other belongings. We are also in need of someone with a truck who would be willing to donate their time and help with transportation.

If you’re available and would like to lend a hand, please contact Hope Alive directly at 260-420-6100.

Your time and willingness to help would mean so much to our resident as she settles into her new home.

Thank you for supporting Hope Alive and the women we serve!

Heavenly Father,

This Monday, we pray for those who are angry, lost, hurting, or feeling vulnerable. Meet them exactly where they are and remind them they don’t have to have everything together to come to You.

When emotions feel heavy and life feels overwhelming, remind us that You are near. You listen without judgment, You care about what we’re carrying, and You welcome us even on our hardest days.

Bring peace to anxious minds, comfort to hurting hearts, and hope to those who need it most. Help us extend that same grace and compassion to one another this week.

Amen.

Hope Alive currently has immediate openings for counseling services. We provide counseling services for individuals from all walks of life. Our desire is to provide a safe and supportive space where our clients can find encouragement, healing, and hope through life’s challenges.

Our counseling services are donation based, and no one will be turned away due to an inability to pay. We believe quality care and support should be accessible to those who need it.

Appointments are available Monday through Thursday from 8 AM to 4 PM, with some evening availability upon request.

To learn more or schedule an appointment, call (260) 420-6100 or visit hopealivefortwayne.org.

Maybe you’re in the thick of the storm right now. Your mind is overwhelmed, your heart is heavy, and you’re wondering when things will change.

Don’t lose heart. 🧡💜

Sometimes our hardest seasons become the moments we learn just how close God really is. When our strength runs out, we learn to lean on His.🫂

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted.” Psalm 34:18

The mess you’re walking through today may someday become part of your message. Your healing may become hope for someone else.

Faith and caring for our mental health can walk hand in hand. Lean into Christ, let others walk beside you, and ask for help when you need it.

God is still with you. Your story isn’t finished yet.

“Therefore we do not lose heart.” 2 Corinthians 4:16

Congratulations to one of our amazing Hope Alive graduates as she and her husband prepare to welcome their sweet little one!

We feel so blessed to celebrate this exciting new chapter with them! It’s always so special to see where life takes our graduates and to cheer them on along the way. We’re so thankful to be a small part of this beautiful moment and can’t wait to see all that God has in store for their growing family!💜🧡🦋

What an incredible night! A heartfelt thank you to our sponsors, volunteers, donors, auction supporters, and everyone who joined us and helped make the 2026 Hope Alive Gala a night to remember.

While the Gala was a beautiful evening of celebration, what we were really celebrating is the mission behind it: bringing hope and encouragement with Christ like love to emotionally hurting people. Through your support, Hope Alive provides safe housing and support for women working toward self sufficiency, as well as donation based counseling for individuals and families in our community.

Every gift helps plant a seed of hope, healing, and new life. 🌱 Thank you for believing in this mission and helping us continue this work, one life at a time.

September is Recovery Month. 💜

What does recovery really mean?

Recovery is hope.
Recovery is healing.
Recovery is taking one step at a time.

At Hope Alive, we believe recovery happens in community. Through our Residential Program, women in crisis have a safe and supportive place to live while they work toward healing and independence. We walk alongside them as they navigate barriers like housing, employment, transportation, healthcare, and other practical needs, while building the skills and resources they need for a healthy, self-sufficient future.

And recovery doesn’t always mean needing a place to live. Our affordable, donation-supported counseling services are available to individuals, couples, and families who need someone to walk alongside them. No one is turned away because they can’t afford to pay.

And sometimes, having someone believe in you makes all the difference.

This Recovery Month, we’re celebrating every step forward.

It’s Wednesday, and maybe you just need a little reminder today that God is still with you in the middle of your journey. ❤️ Recovery isn’t always easy, and it definitely isn’t always perfect. There may be days when you feel strong and days when you feel tired, but neither changes the fact that Jesus is walking beside you through it all. He sees the battles nobody else sees, the prayers you whisper, the moments you choose to keep going, and every small step you take toward a better life.

During Recovery Month, let’s remember that healing can look different for everyone, and there is no shame in taking it one day, one choice, and one prayer at a time. God’s grace meets us exactly where we are, and His love reminds us that our past does not get to define our future. So if today is a hard day, keep going. If today is a good day, be grateful. Either way, you are never walking this road alone. God is not finished with your story yet.

What a beautiful night of hope, connection, and new life. Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 2026 Hope Alive Gala, supported Hope Alive, bid in the silent auction, gave generously, and helped make this evening so special. Every gift, every bid, every ticket, and every act of support is a seed planted in the lives of the people we serve! 🌱
