Testimonials

Angela

I remember being released from prison and thinking, I’m homeless. I ended up in Coastal Plains where I met Vanessa Scaife. We spoke on the phone for an interview and she accepted me into her home. So, I went from being homeless to home sweet home. She gave me a place not just to lay my head but to start a whole new life. I eventually found a job, a car and I’m now in my own place as a direct result of being a resident at The Lighthouse Home.

A women’s recovery house right in my hometown called The Lighthouse Home, right in the same area where I used to run the streets has played a huge role in helping me get clean. During my first nine months of sobriety, The Lighthouse Home and Ms. Vanessa Scaife gave me structure, held me accountable, and provided a safe place to grow while learning how to live differently. Being able to recover in a place so closely tied to my past made the change even more meaningful. Today, I’m proud to say that I have been clean for almost 2 years and The Lighthouse Home was the foundation to make that possible.

Audrey

I am alumni of The Lighthouse Home. I have dedicated my recovery to be an advocate and active volunteer for the women of the home, where I first found my truth. I was taught how to be responsible. I received my GED (also known as a high school equivalency degree) and became a Certified Peer Support Specialist. If it wasn’t for Vanessa and The Lighthouse Home I probably would not be here today.”

I found what I had been looking for living at The Lighthouse home, a healthy and spiritual connection to myself and the world around me. Ms. Vanessa first taught me self-respect and to not be a victim. I have reentered the workforce as a dental office assistant, that I thought would not be possible to have again. I‘ve been living at The Lighthouse Home Since March of 2023 and plan to reunite with my children in March of 2024. I am clean, sober and will always be grateful to Vanessa and The Lighthouse Home.
