Built from the ground up 👏
After over 2.5 years with us, Renee has stepped into her next chapter—and we couldn’t be more proud.

Renee came to Healing Hearts with very little, but she turned that starting point into something powerful. Backed into a wall, she chose growth. She chose recovery. And she stayed consistent in that choice every single day.

During her time here, she rebuilt her life—reunifying with her two children, embracing the responsibilities of motherhood, maintaining work, serving as a house manager, and continuing to prioritize her recovery through it all.

We will miss Renee and her family so much.
Healing Hearts is a stepping stone, and Renee is living proof of what’s possible when someone is willing to do the work.

The best is yet to come. 💛

Renee shared some words with us about her transition & experience:
“When I first got to healing hearts it was a big change in my life. I had to realize that I wasn't there for anyone else but for me. And later came my relationship with Jesus then with my kids and with my family. I needed to have a love for myself that I never had given myself. Ive been through a lot since the first time walking through healing hearts doors. I've dealt with a custody battle and with my own triggers and loss of family members. Loss of friends I've found a quiet peace I never knew I had. I owe a lot to healing hearts for teaching me how to become the person I needed to be not just for myself but for my children and my family. God and Jesus kept giving me grace and love that u never knew I could have. I think my family has seen a big change. I'm grateful I was given this experience. With out it Id still be on the streets and I wouldn't have my kids back”

365 days later… look at her NOW 🔥

Today we are also celebrating an incredible milestone—Nicole’s ONE YEAR of sobriety!

Nicole is truly a trooper. Over the past year, she has not only found recovery, but she has also been reunited with her son—something she never stopped fighting for. Alongside that, she has faced ongoing health challenges and chronic pain with incredible strength—still showing up day after day for herself, her recovery, and her family.

Through it all, Nicole has remained a light to everyone around her. Her positive attitude, willingness to help others, and commitment to growth have made a lasting impact here. While her presence is deeply missed, we couldn’t be more proud of the beautiful transition she’s made—now living in her own home, surrounded by her family and the life she worked so hard to rebuild.

Nicole, your journey is powerful, and your perseverance is inspiring. This year is proof of what’s possible with dedication, support, and faith.

Here are some words from Nicole:
“This day means so much to me on many different levels.. Ive come so far with a lot of hard work and Healing Hearts has made this day possible. And by the grace of GOD.. Ive learned so much about myself, staying off that pity pot and taking advice from others, being of service and just remembering what type of life I wanna live.. Thank you Healing Hearts..”

We are so proud of you, Nicole. Keep going—your story is just getting started. 💛

Two reasons to celebrate, one life completely transformed 🙌
Today we’re celebrating something extra special — Page is 2 years sober AND our March Staff Shoutout 🎊

It’s true that in this line of work, we see miracles every day… and Page is one of them.

Her continual effort, dedication, and willingness show up in every area of her life — not just for herself, but for her son and the strong, supportive community she’s built around her. It’s been incredible to watch her grow as a mother, a woman, and a student, even stepping into leadership as Vice President of the SGA in college.

As a house manager, Page has been recognized for her tireless dedication to supporting the women and children of Healing Hearts Lodge. She consistently brings passion, commitment, and a willingness to step in wherever she’s needed, helping carry out the vision of this program every single day.

Page shared these words about her journey:
“I’d like to give a huge shout out to the Fort Berthold Wellness Court Program! They empowered me with a 2nd chance to transform my life. Their structured approach and guidance provided the discipline I needed to overcome my struggles and maintain a clean lifestyle…. Today I’m proud to be a full-time college student, a present mother, sister, and auntie. I’m also grateful to work with women in recovery.
Being clean
has unlocked numerous opportunities for me and Im taking full advantage of them in a good way!. I’ve achieved many goals I set, but I’m just getting started
I know my
mother Denise and sister Raven are in heaven cheering me on,
everything I do is for
them, my children, and most importantly Myself… here’s to 2 years clean and many more !! Aho!! 🪶 “

We are so proud of you, Page. Your life in recovery has been incredible to witness and your impact continues to ripple through everyone around you 💛

✨ TWO YEARS SOBER — MARIAH ✨

Today we celebrate Mariah and two whole years of sobriety 🤍

Like so many who walk through our doors, Mariah’s beginning wasn’t easy. Addiction had taken so much—her family, her happiness, her stability, and even her freedom. At the same time, she was navigating motherhood, working to rebuild her life, and fighting to get her children back while welcoming a new baby into the world.

Through the ups and downs, the hard days, and the growing pains, she chose to keep going. She leaned in, did the work, and kept showing up—not just for herself, but for her children and her future.

Today, Mariah is one of our house managers—trusted to lead with integrity, uphold structure, and support the women around her. That kind of responsibility is earned, and she wears it well.

We are so grateful she stayed. We are so proud of the woman she continues to become.

Happy 2 years, Mariah 🤍
Keep going—you’re proof that it works.

💕The Power of Staying: 3 Years of Choosing Recovery💕

Today we are also celebrating Renee and her 3 years of sobriety—a true testament to what it looks like to choose recovery, over and over again.

She is free from addiction. Her family no longer has to wonder where she is—because she shows up, consistently, with accountability, responsibility, and sobriety.

Recovery hasn’t come easy, but she has stayed. She has worked. And she has chosen this path again and again, even when it was hard.

Right now, Renee and her family are also walking through something incredibly difficult with the sudden and unexpected passing of her father. This is new territory for her and her siblings—as she grieves, she is also learning how to plan for his final farewell. Two deeply uncomfortable and painful responsibilities, and she is carrying them with strength and sobriety.

🙏 💐 We are here for you, Renee, and for your family. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
As they walk through the loss of their father, we would like to help in any way we can. One of the ways to help can be done via Cash App-if anyone is willing to help them during this difficult time, please see the comment below for her cash-app. 💐

Renee graciously shared this with us about her journey thus far:
“This program gave me my life back. Today, I’ve held a job for nearly a year, I have my children back in my life, and I get to show up every day with a sober and peaceful mindset. As I rework my steps, I’m especially grateful for a sponsor who truly understands me. Choosing to be thorough, to do the work, and to keep growing has been the best decision of my life. Thank you to everyone who continues to support, love, and stand by me and my children.
All praise and glory be to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ found me when I had nothing left to give and when I was nothing and brought light to my life when there was plenty of darkness, I'm thankful all the wonderful people I met along the way. I'm grateful for those that love me.”

We are so grateful for Renee. It is a true blessing to witness the miracle unfolding in her life and in her family’s life.

⛓️‍💥 Her Freedom Started in a Jail Cell ⛓️‍💥

Chelsea’s story is a powerful reminder that sometimes what feels like the lowest moment can become the turning point that changes everything.

In active addiction, everyone’s worst fear is being indicted, and that fear became Chelsea’s reality, ultimately saving her from the nightmare she had been living.

Her journey wasn’t easy. Like many of us entering sobriety, she came in a little mischievous, still holding onto behaviors that once kept her sick. But slowly, and with consistency, those patterns began to fall away. Step by step, she grew into the woman God always intended her to be—someone her family can depend on, someone who shows up, someone who helps others.

Chelsea didn’t just find sobriety—she built a life. She served as a house manager at Healing Hearts, and today she continues to give back by supporting our relatives who are just beginning their own recovery journeys.

Four years later, Chelsea is living proof that freedom can come from the most unexpected (& unwanted) places—and that transformation is possible for anyone willing to walk through it.

We are so proud of you, Chelsea. Your life speaks volumes. 💛 HAPPY 4 YEARS!! 🎉 ❤️ 🎉 ❤️

Chelsea shared this with us this morning: “I sit here kind of in disbelief that I’ve made it to four years sober. I struggled in the beginning, I walked in hopeless and helpless, not knowing what my next move was, what I was going to do, or where I was going.

I look at this picture and I see death,the death of a person who was once full of life, love, joy, and laughter. It’s crazy to me that I walked around like that thinking I was okay.

Today, I know that it’s okay to not be okay at times. I get to be the Chelsea my family always knew, and my friends get to enjoy that version of me too. I’m funny again. I’m goofy again.

I have so much more life to live than I ever realized was out there for me. And that’s because my higher power has shown me that by sticking to my program, connecting with others in recovery, and reaching out when I feel hopeless or helpless I can make it.”

The recovery process goes so far beyond abstinence. It’s about taking responsibility for our actions, building relationships, becoming contributing members of the community, cleaning up our past, and so much more!

This is exemplified in the dedication of this amazing Healing Hearts alum who successfully purchased a home of her own this week! We get to experience many gifts as a result of taking these actions and doing the work. Let us tell you, Anne has done the work!! Anne stayed at the Healing Hearts Lodge for about 18 months while she built her foundation for recovery. In that time she discovered she had a heart that demanded to serve and she became a house manager, as she successfully transitioned out of the lodge and into her apartment she became a care coordinator and continues to give back to the place that provided safety while she found a new way to live. We are so incredibly inspired by her efforts and her work.

Congratulations on your new home Anne!

“I never imagined I could be a home owner especially not as a single parent. Commitment was a huge fear of mine because of the lifestyle I lived. Since being in HHL,
I’ve been able to be consistent in my recovery, my work, my bills and so much more. That’s lead to me being able to mortgage a home of my very own ❤️ God has been apart of it every step of the way!

My daughter and I are so excited! My cats will probably like it too 😆😆
Very thankful to be led to this point in life ❤️”
