Hannah's Project

Dear family and friends,

I am working on a community service project for school and one of the things that I have chosen to do is help raise money to donate to a charity that I love. It’s called ‘A Friend’s House’ and it’s a safe place for women to receive a fresh start from self-harm, eating disorders, severe depression, suicidal thoughts, substance abuse, physical or sexual abuse or an unplanned pregnancy. “At A Friend’s House(AFH) women receive therapy, training and care they need to learn how to live healthy lives. The entire program is free-of-charge”. How amazing that these women can receive the help they need at no cost to them! They rely on donations and grants.

“A Friend's House offers women training on developing healthy relationships, managing emotions, handling anger, identifying lies we tell ourselves and exploring worldviews. Residents attend several therapeutic groups each day, and meet with a licensed therapist once a week.”

My mom used to have her adoption agency in the same building as AFH. I was able to meet many of the women and saw them undergoing really neat changes in themselves. Pam Durdahl, the Director of AFH was with Loving Option from the very beginning until she left to pursue her dream of opening A Friend’s House. She is an amazing woman!

I would love to raise as much money as I can to donate to them. I am going to Indiana in July and will be visiting while I am there. I will send the money to them on June 9th. If you are lead to donate, please have your donation to me no later than June 8th. You can make the check out directly to A Friend’s House and you will receive a statement of your donation for your taxes. If you live near AFH you can drop off your check directly. Please let them know it’s for my community service project.

My home address is:

Thank you very much in advance for your help with my project and for helping A Friend’s House ministry.

Sincerely,

Hannah Lind
