Erin Kramer.

In June 2021, a social worker with Wings Palliative and Hospice Care contacted the charity and asked if we could assist in fulfilling a special request of a mother who had just placed her daughter on hospice care as cancer treatments were no longer responding. The mother was requesting to celebrate her daughter’s 5th Birthday with a celebration as they knew she would not be alive to celebrate in August. Being the director of the charity, I said “we would be honored.” The social worker then sent over a request of decorations and stated “and any small presents you would like to send to assist the family.” Read more>>

As a ministry we have a desire to never turn anyone away, due to the inability to pay. That’s why we have our MISSION 42:1 Scholarship Fund. We use this fund as a means of making sure every child has the ability to experience Jesus in a camp setting. In 2010, we were busing campers from the Nashville Rescue Mission, one of our ministry partners. There was a camper there who had been at the mission for a while with his mom. Read more>>

Rabbi Shlomo and Rivka Slatkin.

Rivka and I started having marriage challenges when we had our first child. Sleepless nights didn’t help! We found an Imago relationship therapist and after one session, fell back in love with each other with our lives having changed forever. I went on to pursue advanced training in Imago therapy and Rivka joined me in creating TheMarriageRestorationProject.com, a global initiative to help couples going through similar challenges.

At Two Lives Changed we have the opportunity to meet several different young ladies from all different walks of life. The common thread is they are all young moms wanting a better future for them and for their children. Every week we meet with them and have the opportunity to brighten the day. The favorite part of our week is having the young moms and their kids ask if we’re having our meeting. They love meeting with us and connecting with other moms in their similar situations.

In may of 2020, right as the pandemic started, my program Supplies For Life began. Back then it didn’t have a name. It was just random bags of hygiene and hope from an Amazon wishlist. Back then I was working on becoming a CRPA (Certified Recovery Peer Advocate) and I was sending lots of people to rehab or watching them try to transition back into the community from rehabs or incarceration. Living in a shelter gives you just that. It doesn’t give you hygiene, laundry detergent or hope. Read more>>

For privacy purposes I can’t name them and I’m sure legally related, however I did have a client who wasn’t the easiest out of all clients I had. But it was a moving the needle kind of moment when they expressed what my being there meant to them. I’m old school, when I show up or clock in, I’m there to do the job and then some. So it’s very easy to get distracted by the work itself, but there are times like this one in particular….where I was caught off guard by the transparency of this particular client. It definitely moved me and reminded me that I’m not doing this in vain. Read more>>
