You may have heard, that there is no cost for the client for their sessions. How can that be? It’s because of donors “paying it forward” for them. Most donors are individuals giving monthly or one time. Locally, we also have business’, churches, grants and foundations giving as well. The clients appreciate every dollar paid forward for their care. The cost of care ranges from $100 per hour to $1,300 per student for a school year. For a student that equates to only $18.58 a week.
The actual cost for care depends on a few factors like the:
Location
Number of people being seen in the same location on the same day
Length of sessions (30 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours)
Partnership level
Clients say over and over, thank you to those that gave. If it wasn’t free they’d have no way to access the healing they so desperately needed.
“I’ve spent everything trying every doctor and new fad”
“I have nothing left”
“Life’s been horrible to me. I can’t even work”
“I have nightmares and can’t sleep. I keep getting let go from my job”
“I am so depressed, I can’t leave the house”
“Yes, I use drugs. It’s the only way I survived. I use them to stop the pain”
“This is my last try for help. I’ve already attempted suicide a few times and plan to if this doesn’t work”
“I had a breakdown. Overdosed on prescription drugs. Was Fired. Lost my kids. Destroyed my house. I have nothing to donate.”
The care we offer is a Biblically based program with over 80% success rate for those that complete it. When partnered with their primary care or existing counseling clients report they, “found the healing I’ve been searching for”. Even 80% of the students report that they are happier. 100% say they “feel loved and safe”.
For over 10 years this ministry has grown from 1 encourager to a team of over 20! Why? Because the clients keep telling their friends and acquaintances they need to go through the program, “It will change your life”.
