I took a train there for help in 2001. I arrived and immediately realized this was a place of tunnel vision and hierarchy. I was ready to go BUT, before I could even decide, I was kicked out. WHY? I couldn't go to rikers Island to give testimony because I had an active warrant. That should be considered given they are helping addicts. Secondly, I was pregnant. They do not provide any aide for pre-natal care. WHY? My child would be an abomination. Tunnel vision is not the only way to help women who are struggling with addiction. Turning your back on a person pleading for help and yet calling yourself a Christian organization is an oxymoron. But ya'll got paid for a minimum 90 day stay right? My recommendation is don't believe what they tell you. And if you do go, you will see.

The Hoving Home became the sanctuary where my shattered life found renewal. I walked in burdened by the heavy weight of shame, guilt, hopelessness, loneliness, and raw anger. But within its loving, faith-filled embrace, I discovered a profound intimacy with God that began to melt away those chains. The staff's unwavering wisdom and guidance were a constant source of strength, illuminating each step along my journey of healing and transformation. Ultimately, it was the Holy Spirit's daily guidance that empowered me to rebuild. With the help of everyone—the dedicated staff and compassionate leaders—I not only completed the initial 12-month program but was also accepted into the Leadership Program in Pasadena, CA. This incredible opportunity has allowed me to extend my learning of biblical principles, further developing my skills in leading and working in ministry, which has always been my life's desire. Now, I have the profound privilege to stand alongside and serve other women who have walked through similar life struggles and are seeking change and transformation. It's a true blessing to give back what was so freely given to me. This isn't just a program; it's a home filled with God's grace, a place where brokenness is met with boundless compassion and the promise of a redeemed life. If you, or anyone you know, are looking for support on their recovery journey and transformation for their lives, I wholeheartedly encourage you to call the Hoving Home at 845-274-3812. It can truly change everything."

The Hoving Home provided a safe place for me to heal from the hurts, hang up-s and habits that kept me from being a contributing member of society.
