My name is Kimberly. Originally I'm from Hunstville, Ontario. My life before coming to Christ consisted of drugs, cutting, suicide attempts, many different prescription pills and being in a psychiatric ward. Growing up being abused by my father physically and sexually and my mother being diagnosed with cancer I felt like I had no one I could talk to. I hated myself and I just wanted to die. Cutting myself was like second nature to me and being labeled different disorders was normal.
When I came to Freedom Village USA, my eyes were opened to the answer for all of the hurt and pain in my life. Six months into the program I finally dropped the walls and accepted Christ as my Savior. Although it has not been easy Christ has completely changed me. Today I am no longer that hurt little girl that is looking for another pill to take to fix it. I serve God at Freedom Village USA in the girl's dormitory. I met and married my best friend here and we get to serve together and watch Christ change the young people that enter into the same program that we did.
