"This is my story of how I came to “Hope”. I was in a very dark place in my life and I needed help to know who I was. I didn’t know where to turn. I had gotten into trouble, and people started to say things about me. People would say that I was “nothing” and had no one to support me. I was also homeless, and I felt like I had no hope. Then I was introduced to Hope Restoration Ministries. They gave me a very nice place to live. They also helped me to get into college where I am bettering myself! Lastly, I received life skills and one on one counseling to help me deal with my issues in life. I am also happy to say that I now have my very own apartment, as well as a car. Currently I am being allowed to shadow the CEO, to learn more about running a non-profit organization. I thank God for Hope Restoration Ministries!" -Faith (2010)
"I came to Hope Restoration Ministries when I was really needing shelter. I am a college student that got down on my luck. I went to them and they reached out to me immediately! I do not know where I would be if they were not there for me. I am So grateful!! I wish them the VERY best!!" - Datone
"This is a much needed ministry. So many of our
young people are lost and they have no place to turn. I thank God
for sister Chatiqua's obedience to the Lord in starting this
ministry. God is using her in such a powerful way. This young lady
knows first hand what it is like to struggle as a teen and she also
knows Gods restoration power. God has raised her up for such a time
as this. Praise God for Restoration Ministries; it is meeting the
needs of our community! This is a great ministry to support!!"

"I came to Hope Restoration Ministries needing somewhere to live, and help getting my GED. I also was having major car trouble. They helped me get into the local GED program, gave me the finances to fix my car, and provided me with food and shelter." - Nashville, TN
"I came to Hope Restoration Ministries when I was
still in high school. My mother passed away when I was a young
child, and at the time I met the CEO, I was living with a family
member. I was having trouble at home, and at times wanted to give up
on life completely. Ms. Vaughn encouraged me to stay in high school,
and I graduated! The caseworkers and mentors continued to work with
me. They helped me with my financial aid papers for college, helped
me with the admissions process, and helped me to purchase my own
car. I know that I can make it in life, thank you for giving me
HOPE."
"Hope Restoration Ministries touches the lives of young people, providing alternatives, and showing that ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. The founders, members, and staff of this organization are selfless in their efforts, being beacons of light when things seem dark and grim." - Camille
"I came to know Hope Restoration Ministries by the President/CEO, Chatiqua. She came a few years ago to the local church that I attend. She would reach out to the young people as much as she could, sometimes giving them the last dime in her pocket, so that they could get something to eat. We found out that two young adults got put out of their homes and were out on the streets. One of them had a small child. Chatiqua heard about them, and immediately took them into her own house. I watched how she took care of them, bought them clothes, food etc.Later I found out that she was starting a non-profit just for homeless adolescents, like the ones she had been helping all along. She asked me to be apart of the organization, and I agreed. I am delighted to be a part of an organization that truly cares about serving people." - CP
"They really care about what they do. They go above and beyond the call of duty!" - FS
