One of these partners is Beauty for Ashes, here in Fredericksburg. Cindy and her team are doing an amazing job.
"Beauty for Ashes is a 12-18 month residential program for women who struggle with addiction. Beauty for Ashes allows women to reside with their children to get the treatment and care they need to be become fully alive and whole in Jesus Christ."Our Stafford Crossing family was able to serve our partners during the Christmas season. Many of
you joined forces and helped get the leaves off the property and into the woods. your generosity as part pf the family also allowed us to provide ingredients for both Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. The ladies all pitch in and make a special dish from their own family traditions. We were also able to provide the items to help stuff some stockings for the moms.
We have opportunities during the year to serve as well. If you are interested in finding out more, comment below and we will find ways to plug in.

Christmas
Personal thanks
from our Moms…
Thank you so much for everything you did to bless us for
Christmas!! I am very happy to be here at Beauty for Ashes, to be able to be a
good example for my children, and to be celebrating 3 years of sober holidays…thanks
to Beauty for Ashes. Watching my sweet son open his gifts and to be able to
play with I is one of the best presents I’ve ever experienced. This Christmas
was unlike any other. I am in awe of God’s love and so grateful to be his
daughter. And I’m so grateful for the love that was poured out on us by you.
I want to thank you for blessing my 11-month-old son and
me with a very special Christmas. It was a very beautiful and exciting thing to
be able to gather together and have my son rip open paper to find presents. New
and enjoyable things are definitely found here at Beauty for Ashes and you have
helped that to come true.
I just want to say how grateful and thankful I am for how
special and magical Christmas has been for me and my son. We’ve never been
spoiled like this before and it’s amazing to see how God is not only meeting
our needs here but also our wants. It’s more than we deserve, and we don’t take
this lightly. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
I am very thankful for the time and resources you have
put in to make a wonderful Christmas experience for me and my daughter. I
really appreciate seeing how much people can care without even knowing us. It’s
a miracle that my daughter and I are together for the holiday. You are a
wonderful blessing from God, making it the best. Thank you and God bless all of
you!
Thank you for the wonderful Christmas gifts for my little
boy and me. The fact that you don’t even personally know either of us is overwhelming
and I am thankful for you and your kindness…as well as your loving heart. Merry
Christmas from our little family to yours!
To all who helped make Christmas so special,
Thank you!
This year’s Christmas was more special than I could truly provide words for.
For my daughter and me it was the first “real” Christmas without distraction.
We could actually focus on just the joy of the season. Already we felt so
blessed just to be accepted here at Beauty for Ashes and into the program, but
to have received gifts as well…wow! The staff here at BFA have gone above and
beyond to turn this into a true Christmas miracle for my daughter and me,
showing how very special the holidays are here at the home. This Christmas has
given me hope I didn’t know could be found, strength I was unaware I had, and
above all shown true love and compassion I was unaware existed in the world
today. Thank you to you all and I hope the Christmas was as special for you as
it was for my daughter and me. God bless you! Merry Christmas and Happy New
Year!
My son and I want to express to you a heart of gratitude.
Thank you for making our Christmas so special and such a memorable one for us!
We truly love you! Merry Christmas and many blessings for 2020!
