“My heart goes out to the women because of what I’ve gone through.”

Jan grew up in poverty, experienced an abusive marriage and lost her only son when he was a teenager. By God’s grace, she’s worked hard to have the life she’s had, and she wants her legacy to help women going through similar struggles.

That’s why she’s included UGM as a beneficiary in her Will: She believes in our Gospel-centered programs that provide clean-and-sober shelter along with work training and experience, so that people have the chance to build a better life.

“I worked so hard to get where I am. … From looking at the [recovery] program, it looks hard to me, and I admire them for doing it. I really do.”
