Some stories remind us why we do this work. ❤️

Thank you, Wanda Butts and Larry of The Josh Project, for sharing your incredible journey and for allowing Sophia Center to be a small part of your story.

Healing has a ripple effect. Nearly 20 years ago, Wanda came to Sophia Center seeking support through unimaginable grief. Today, that journey has grown into a mission that has impacted thousands of children and families through water safety education and drowning prevention.

We are honored to continue being a place of hope, healing, and compassionate care for our community. Thank you for trusting us, and for reminding us that even in life's hardest moments, healing can grow into something far greater than we ever imagined.

If you ask us, one of the best parts of the grounds we work on are the gentle visitors that remind us to pause and appreciate the peace that surrounds us here at the Sophia Center.

May you find a moment today to slow down, take a deep breath, and notice the beauty around you - wherever you are. 🌳

“I struggled everyday to get up and fake that all was well as I worked, raised a family and went to college. Sr. Sharon counseled me and helped me to explore my childhood to see why I was so depressed. Abuse was something I totally blocked out of my adult life.”
