“Dove House was my turning point”

In the summer of 2020, Melissa was living in her car and had lost track of how long she had been there. She hadn’t eaten in days and felt like she was knocking on death’s door.

Thankfully, one fateful day, a car pulled up next to her, and she gathered the energy to ask them for help. The mystery guardian angel called 9-1-1, and this moment would turn out to be the first day of Melissa’s new life.

Today, Melissa is chasing down her dreams! She is a present mother, has reconnected with her family and is doing what she loves as a ballroom dance instructor.

Watch this video to hear why Melissa says Dove House was her turning point and what she would like to say to the Dove House donors who made a new life  possible for her.
