“When I made it to Amethyst, oh my God, it was mind-blowing…the sisters, the staff. I ain’t never felt a love like that, a sisterhood like that … I am striving to raise a great woman. I invest in her because she is my lifeline, and I love her with everything in me.”

“I believe in the work Amethyst Place is doing; oftentimes a second chance is so very valuable to families in distress. Providing safety and the additional resources needed to get past major life hurdles couldn’t be more valuable. Amethyst Place is providing a future for the most at-risk families and impacting our city greatly in the process!”
