After a lifetime of emotional and physical abuse from her parents, Marie finds herself homeless, alone, and afraid. She is barely 18 and still in high school. Without knowing where she will lay her head at night or even where she will get her next meal, Marie continues attending school and working towards graduation. Before long, the pressure of school and the suppressed pain of years of abuse take their toll and Marie finally confides in a teacher.
Unfortunately, this is not when Marie’s struggle ends…. but it is where Hope begins. Because this is when Marie finds the City Mission. Here she is provided with shelter, meals, and the support and encouragement she so desperately needs. Mission Advocates coach Marie and connect her to local agencies who provide additional support. For the past 85 years, The City Mission of Findlay has dedicated itself to ending homelessness for all who walk through our doors. Serving Men, Women & Children daily to help them develop permanent solutions to address the unique underlying causes of their homelessness. Because of neighbors like you, the City Mission is the best expression of how Findlay loves its neighbor. Your financial donation helps to provide more than a safe shelter and a hot meal--it helps to provide a future and hope to Marie and countless others. Can you give today so others may have a hope and a future like Marie? In Christ Love & Ours, City Mission of Findlay Staff |

The Queen of Bruises
September 3, 2019
By: Lisa C., Community Member I looked at the bruise on my leg this morning and tried to think again why it had appeared there. I must have run into something, but I don’t remember specifically why it is there. And it is big and purple-ish yellow. I don’t remember why it appeared, and though I chose the length of my pants today to be sure it is covered from sight, my body won’t let me deny I had a moment of pain recently. Read More |
