What will really make America Great Again?

Meet Danny

2016

2011

Honoring Christ by Serving the Needs of Children and Families

Danny went from doing very poorly in school and very disrespectful to his single parent mom. How did that happen?

An interview with Danny’s mom tells the story: Question: How long have you been a part of the Sheridan House Ministry?

Danny’s Mom: “We have been a part of Sheridan House since 2011.”

Question: How did you find out about Sheridan House?

Danny’s Mom: “Danny’s grandmother told us about Sheridan House. She had a friend whose son was helped through Sheridan House.”

Danny’s Mom: “I see him process situations differently. Danny no longer shows defiance or disrespect when he responds to questions. I see him work through whatever he is facing. I love the fact that we get so many compliments from his teachers regarding his behavior. Now his report card reads “what a joy Danny is to have in class”.

While at Sheridan House Danny had three report cards in row with straight A’s. He went from hating school to now going off to college to major in engineering. A miracle!”

“He went from hating school to now going off to college to major in engineering.

A miracle!”

Question: How has Sheridan House blessed you and your family over the years?

Danny’s Mom: “Sheridan House has blessed us by giving our loving son back to us. The Single Parent Ministry has blessed my family through the Backto-School events, Parent Training Seminars, the Thanksgiving and the clothing boutique. As a family, we have also been blessed through the counseling center.

The single mom events have been such a huge blessing and that’s why Danny, as a young adult, has started volunteering at Sheridan House.

Question: What has the time spent living at Sheridan House done for Danny?

Question: Speaking of miracles, has your involvement with Sheridan House helped develop your relationship with the Lord?

Danny’s Mom: “Absolutely! As a family we started going back to church regularly. We volunteer more at church functions as well as assisting our church in feeding the homeless.”

Legacy Giving or Planned Giving is about making a

lasting impact for God’s Kingdom. It doesn’t have to be something you give after you are gone…you can witness it and show your children and your grandchildren, “This is what our family does.” Putting your name on a building project or on the future of a ministry is not about lifting you up. It’s about training the next generation.

• Marriage and Parenting Seminars and the ParentingOnPurpose.org daily podcasts, blog and radio show.

• Counseling services to help families and marriages stay on the right path.

• Life skills, training and support for single moms and their children.
