20 Years. 20 Weeks. 20 Stories. ❤️
Celebrating 20 years of Francis Court and the lives changed along the way.

“I felt like I was nothing. I felt worthless. Drugs helped me not feel, and after all the pain I was going through, not feeling seemed like the best option.”

After losing my mother, I fell even deeper into depression and addiction. My wake-up call came when my four children were removed from my care and placed in foster care for their safety. Losing them broke me, but it also made me realize that I had to fight for my life and my family.

My husband and I entered a recovery program and worked hard to overcome our addictions. When it was time to leave treatment, we had nowhere to go and no home where we could bring our family back together. FaithWorks gave us that opportunity when we were accepted into Francis Court.

Having a safe and stable home allowed us to begin rebuilding our family. My husband found full-time work with a roofing company, and I eventually returned to work as well. Learning to parent while staying clean and sober was not easy. Raising teenage daughters came with challenges, and the damage caused by our past made some seasons even harder.

My FaithWorks case manager never gave up on me. I attended parenting classes focused on raising teenagers and received one-on-one coaching. The staff helped me learn how to face difficult emotions, parent my children, and handle the waves of life without returning to drugs. They reminded me to keep putting one foot in front of the other, even when I felt like giving up.

Francis Court gave us much more than housing. It gave us stability, accountability, support, and people who believed our family could heal. FaithWorks helped us become the parents and people we are today.

Now, I am a manager at Walmart, and our family owns our own home. When I look back at the woman who once believed she was worthless, I hardly recognize her. Today, I know my value. I know how far we have come, and I know we did not get here alone.

FaithWorks and Francis Court helped us turn our greatest pain into a new beginning. They gave our family the space, support, and love we needed to rebuild our lives, and we will always be grateful.”

Celebrating 20 years of Francis Court and the lives changed along the way.
“My husband and I met in recovery and fell in love. I already had a daughter and was pregnant with our first child together. As we prepared to leave treatment, we faced a difficult reality: we had nowhere to live together and raise our children.
Francis Court gave us that opportunity. We could finally live together, continue our recovery, and prepare for our daughter’s arrival. We had no idea one of the hardest journeys of our lives was about to begin.
After countless appointments and tests, doctors discovered our daughter had a heart condition. After she was born, she needed heart valve surgery and was hospitalized several times while we lived at Francis Court.
Caring for her became our entire world. I left my job, and my husband missed work. There were trips to UC Davis, unexpected hospital stays, and frightening moments when we did not know what would happen next.
Through it all, our case manager and FaithWorks stood beside us. They connected us with transportation, food, and rental assistance. More importantly, they gave us love, encouragement, and prayer. We never faced it alone.
We were among the first families to move into Francis Court 3. It became the place where we grew as a family—and where my husband and I got married. What began as two people meeting in recovery became a marriage, a family, and a future built together.
My husband found a job with an employer who allowed him to be there when our daughter needed care.
We have since moved into permanent housing. My husband is still working, and we are building the life we once only dreamed about. Our family has grown to include two more beautiful children.
Francis Court gave us more than a place to live. It gave us a safe place to become a family during one of the most frightening times of our lives. It gave us people who prayed with us, believed in us, and reminded us we were never alone.
We will always be grateful for the love and support that helped our family get where we are today.” —Christena

Celebrating 20 years of Francis Court and the lives changed along the way.
"When I came to Francis Court, I was facing some of the hardest times in my life. My income was too low, I had no rental history, no transportation, and I was struggling with addiction, low self worth, and setting healthy boundaries. I had lost my happiness, and the hardest part was having my children removed by CFS.

I knew I needed to make changes not only for myself, but for my children. Francis Court gave me a safe place to begin rebuilding. I had housing security, even though it was temporary, and I began to see my children relax and feel comfortable in our own home. Little by little, our apartment became more than a place to stay it became our home.

The staff, classes, counseling, and support system helped me grow. I learned to communicate better, set boundaries, and understand that it is okay to not be okay. I learned that asking for help does not make me weak; it helps me become stronger.

Today, it has been more than five years since my family left Francis Court, and I am still doing amazing. I have continued to build a stable life for myself and my children. I am grateful for the lessons I learned and for the support that helped me believe I deserved a better future.

My advice to anyone beginning their journey is this: “Jump through the hoops you will thank yourself later. This is only a season; it is not permanent " -Ariel-
