Message 2024ANNUAL REPORTAlpha-Omega is more than a place to stay, it’s a safe place to start.

Dear Friends,For over 24 years, Alpha-Omega Miracle Home (AOMH) has been a place of hope and transformation for young mothers, their children, and senior women facing homelessness. Our mission is to provide not only housing but also comprehensive support, accountability, and a loving community where lives are restored and futures are rebuilt.This year has been a season of growth and progress. With the foundation laid for our new campus, we are closer than ever to expanding our impact. Once completed, this campus will triple the safe bed nights available in our G.R.O.W. Program and nearly double our affordable housing capacity. The education center will provide essential resources like case management, life skills training, and higher education opportunities, while the daycare will offer a safe, nurturing environment for the children of our residents and struggling parents in the community.While the need for safe housing continues to grow, we have seen incredible victories. This year, mothers in our program have graduated with degrees, secured careers, and gained independence. Senior women in our community have found renewed purpose, forming deep bonds with young moms and children. Women once trapped in cycles of poverty have discovered their worth, strengthened their faith, and built stable futures. Lives are being transformed—one family at a time.Your partnership makes this possible. Your generosity fuels our mission, and your belief in our residents empowers them to overcome obstacles and embrace new beginnings. As we look ahead, we are excited to continue building a foundation for lasting change in our community.Thank you for leaving your mark on the lives of the women and children we serve.With gratitude,Lisa FranklinCEO and Founder

DIANA’S STORYMeet Nana, a cherished member of Alpha-Omega Miracle Home for over 12 years. Her greatest joy is being a loving grandma to the children on campus, who often ock to her for a seat on her lap. Nana stays because she falls in love with the kids and values the community she shares with fellow seniors through Bible studies, outings, and celebrations. She’s inspired by the transformed lives of the moms, saying, “AOMH helps young moms become better parents and people.”A cornerstone of the G.R.O.W. Program, Nana’s patience, kindness, and care bring the beauty of family to so many. She is truly a blessing.RESIDENT STORIESMANDY’S STORY“Before I was accepted into Alpha-Omega Miracle Home, I was homeless with a child and living in a small storage unit. My child was sleeping in a car seat while I slept on the oor.AOMH was my last chance, so when I got a phone call back, my life changed. It was the coldest night of the year when they picked me and my child up, and took me to a warm hotel for the weekend until my new home was ready. It was the rst time my son had slept in a bed. The staff brought homemade soup and some clothes for us. I was so blessed because I had been on my knees crying and praying to God, asking for him to help. God answered my prayer and I received exactly what I prayed so hard for, and then some.Since coming to AOMH, my life has completely turned around. The gift of safety and security is huge. I can give my son a better life now that I received my high school diploma, have a stable job, saved money and I am working towards owning a car. I am so grateful for the opportunity to change my entire life in a positive way with loving people all around me to cheer me on. Coming to Alpha-Omega has changed my whole life!PALMER FAMILY STORYAfter years of trying to conceive, my husband and I knew God’s plan for us was adoption. We were matched with a birth mom in just two and a half months, and six weeks later, our precious Janelle was born.On delivery day Lisa Franklin and AOMH staff stepped in and welcomed us with warmth, supported Janelle’s birth mom with love and prayer, and even arranged a beautiful baby dedication at the hospital.Adoption is a profound journey, and AOMH’s care for birth moms make all the difference. Their love in action is something we will always cherish and be eternally grateful for.ADOPTION STORY
