Our remodel is officially underway!! WOOT WOOT.

David with Broad Meadow Consulting, LLC has been absolutely phenomenal. He’s gone above and beyond to keep the demo dirt and dust to a minimum (which is no small task 😅) and has taken the time to walk us through each step of the process so we understand what’s happening and what’s next.

We are loving getting to watch this transformation happen right in front of our eyes. More space, more functionality, and ultimately more room to serve the women who walk through our doors. 🤍

Thank you, David, for your care, patience, and the pride you take in your work. We’re so grateful to have you on this project with us! Stay tuned… the best is yet to come. ✨

Our Ali. 🥰

If I could sum up the importance of recovery residences in one person’s story, Ali would be the one I would tell. We think about those who struggle with these barriers as lazy or just unwilling, but when you really think about it- overwhelming and paralyzing is an understatement.

Barriers? This girl had them all.

Mental health challenges ✅
Community Corrections ✅
Zero documentation ✅
Unemployed for a decade ✅
Homelessness ✅
Unhealthy relationships ✅

But step by step, putting one foot in front of the other, Ali has eliminated barrier after barrier.

She made the brave choice to come to Ruth House, that decision connected her with behavioral health and primary care. She filled out the paperwork to obtain her Social Security card and birth certificate from out of state. That allowed her to get an ID… which then allowed her to fill out job applications.

And she did ALL of this while living in a safe, sober, and supportive environment.

We are excited (and I mean literally jumping up and down with joy) to share that Miss Ali got a JOB today!!!! 🙌

Thank you for walking alongside us, believing in second chances, and helping remove barriers for women like Ali. If you’ve ever wondered whether your support matters… this is it. 🤍

Two BIG thank-yous are in order. 🤍

First, we want to thank Crystal Flath for giving our ladies a lesson in self-care. Learning how to unplug, reset, and pour back into yourself is something so many of us forget, and we’re grateful she shared that reminder with our house.

Secondly, we want to thank April Cox for pouring into our ladies over the last 6 months. She has brought creative ideas, thoughtful lessons, and always something outside the box to help our women learn and grow. We will miss seeing her regularly as she steps into a new adventure, but this is definitely not goodbye, just see you later. 🙂

Both of these women are beautiful examples of what it looks like to break down social barriers and simply show up for others. What started as volunteers has turned into friendship, and we are so thankful to now call them friends.

Happiest birthday (on Sunday) to our sister, Jonna 🤍

Here is a little glimpse of what family, relationships, and true sisterhood look like at Ruth House. We celebrate one another. We show up for one another. We laugh together, grow together, and walk through the hard things together. We have created a tight knit, uplifting, light hearted culture where women are safe to heal and safe to become who they were always meant to be.

Jonna has served as our house monitor for the last four months. And while serving others, she has also been doing the deep work herself digging into the wreckage of her past, creating new healthy thought patterns, challenging old beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors, and choosing growth through every high and low. That kind of work is not easy. It is courageous.

Happy birthday, sister. You are loved, you are valued, and we are so grateful you are ours. 💜

✨ BIG news at Ruth House! ✨

We are honored to share that we’ve received funding through the United Way of the Wabash Valley Behavioral Health Grant. 🙌

As our house count increases, our heart has always been to ensure that the level of care, structure, and intentional support never decreases. Growth should never come at the expense of excellence.

Because of this funding, we have secured two years of support to hire a Program Director. This adds another critical layer of care for our residents, allows for shared and distinct leadership responsibilities between the Program Director and Executive Director, and ensures the positive ripple effects happening inside our home continue to impact families throughout our county.

And now for the full circle moment. 💫

Melanie was one of the first graduates of our revamped program. She has gone above and beyond in every area of her life, especially in her recovery. She models this new way of living day in and day out- with consistency, humility, accountability, and grace. To welcome her onto our team as Program Director is more than strategic. IT IS POWERFUL. It is the fruit of recovery.

We are so grateful to United Way of the Wabash Valley for believing in the vision of Ruth House and investing in the women and families right here in our county.

More beds.
More support.
More lives changed. 💜

Persistence. Determination. Resilience. 💪

For two years, Nichole did not have her driver’s license. And getting it back was not simple. She had to do all the things : file SR-22, complete a driver safety course, and take the driver’s test not once, not twice… but FOUR times.

And today?

WAAALA! 🚗🙌

Nichole is officially a licensed driver again!

This is what recovery looks like. It is showing up. It is doing the hard things. It is trying again after disappointment. It is refusing to quit.

We are so proud of you, Nichole. Over here at Ruth House, our ladies do some pretty cool stuff.

UPDATED WITH OUR AMAZON WISHLIST! (Thank you ladies.)

This is a left field post.

With 11 women in our house it can get, well, LOUD. 📢 😅

Our ladies (when not at work, volunteering, at appointments, or meetings) spend from 8-4 each day working on recovery-related things at the table. With a larger house count (Thank you, Jesus), it makes it difficult for ladies to concentrate on recovery work during recovery hours.

Would a few of our Ruth House family be willing to donate 4-5 radio Walkmans the ladies can check out during the day to help better concentrate?

🙂 Thank you in advance.

Our dear friend Niki guided our ladies through creating vision boards yesterday.

To know where you want to go, you first have to understand where you are. What’s the starting point? Studies show that when we put thoughts to paper, something powerful happens. Ideas and goals move from distant to obtainable.

There is so much intention, hope, and courage on these boards. We can’t wait to watch these visions unfold.

Happy Friday ✨

Recovery isn’t passive. It’s intentional.

Connecting with your Creator, utilizing the fellowship, and showing up each day. 🙌

This is what growth looks like.
This is what freedom is built on. 🤍

Help us congratulate our sister, Nichole, on 10 months of continuous sobriety! Keep growin’ sis! 🌱

With our growing house count comes the opportunity to connect more women to life-giving resources like:

• Primary Care
• Behavioral Health
• Employment

One way our community makes this possible is through our Lifts of Love list 🚗🤍
Volunteers offer rides to our ladies based solely on their availability. No set schedule, no pressure. While the commitment is small, the impact is huge.

If you’re looking for a meaningful, hands-on way to support the women of Ruth House, this is it.

📄 See the flyer below for details, and please reach out if you have any questions.

Together, we’re removing barriers and creating access. 💜
