Ariana never smiled, smiling was a sign of weakness and she would never show that. Sitting in a jail cell, alone, hopeless, and unloved Ariana knew what horrors awaited her when she was released. She knew, just like every time before, she would end up in jail again. Hopelessly she dropped her head. But God saw Ariana in her state of hopelessness and He sent someone her way. A lady came to the jail and told Ariana about Safe Harbor, a place where she could truly change. Ariane felt hope for the first time in years.
After only six months of being at Safe Harbor, Ariana has her smile back. She knows the unconditional love of Christ and is surrounded by a healthy community of people. Because of those who choose to partner with Safe Harbor Ariana has experienced true life transformation. She writes, "I closed my eyes and felt God, I felt free in Christ. Thank you, Jesus!"
