TESTIMONIALS

"I always thought if I did everything my ex wanted he would be happy and trust me and love me. I stayed with him because I wanted to give my kids both a mom and a dad. I just want to let anyone going through what I went through that you are beautiful, you are good enough, you are smart and you deserve to be loved and respected and no one should be allowed to abuse you physically or mentally. I’m so much stronger and better then I was in 2015 when I decided I’m at rock bottom, I can’t go lower then that so I thought I would just try to dig myself out of that hole. I got myself a job, I did everything I could to provide for my children with no help from him. My first job was a sushi chef. I hadn’t worked since 2009 because I stayed home to take care of him and my kids. Then I moved to doing different jobs that a staffing agency sent to me. I did everything I could to support my family. Through the women empowerment classes I learned that not everything was my fault. I struggled to finally be able to move out of my mom’s house to be able to get my own place. Now I have my own van. So now I no longer have to walk or take the bus everywhere with my kids. I have finally paid off my van. I have a job now that respects me as a person . Giving me the opportunity to be able to provide for my children a home with a nice backyard to play in. I became cashier of the month and I  would’ve never imagine that I would be where I am.  If it wasn’t for my determination to get myself back up after he pushed me so down. I felt all my self-esteem, self respect was taken from me and now I am the strong woman that works for everything I want for me and my family. I will never allow anyone to belittle or put me down. I want to thank Stephanie Murray’s parents and Stephanie, with Journey to Your Haven for giving me tough love. You all helped me and told me get out of that relationship and not look back. Thanks to my husband Hoang Nguyen for my rock though all times I would get frustrated about things at work or just when I would feel sad. Just wanting to let anyone that is going through it now to please know that you are beautiful and you deserve to be loved."
