Lauren – Portland Rescue Mission

Lauren – Portland Rescue Mission – Lauren felt like she was dying. For weeks, she rarely left the darkness of a small bedroom she was renting. “It was the deepest, darkest depression I’ve ever experienced,” Lauren remembers. “I was done living my life.” Thanks to compassionate friends like you, Lauren found Shepherd’s Door, the women and children’s recovery ministry of Portland Rescue Mission. She’s healing from a troubled past and starting a brand new life. Help us give hope to more hurting men, women and children suffering from homelessness and addiction. To donate, call 503-MISSION (647-7466) or visit www.PortlandRescueMission.org
