My name is Jess and God saved my life. From a young age, I faced the torment of physical, sexual and mental abuse while in and out of the foster care system. With no real family or firm foundation, I found myself deep in the cycle of drug addiction and by the time I was 18, I was facing eight felonies and prison. Addiction led me further into darkness, a cycle of anger, despair and depression seemingly without end. Until I was thirty-three and a motorcycle accident threatened to snuff out what remained of me. The crash left me battered, broken, and clinging to life by a thread. But amidst the wreckage, a glimmer of hope emerged—a second chance at life because God had bigger plans for me! I have lived many different lives but the life I live now is for my Jesus Christ! There is no better place or way! I am so unbelievably grateful for everything he has done and continues to do. We do recover!
