San Antonio<\/strong> \u2013 For many women battling addiction, motherhood can be both a source of pain and a reason to keep going.<\/p>\n

Redeemer House, <\/a>a San Antonio nonprofit organization founded in 2023, provides a place to live and support services for women working to overcome addiction while trying to reunite with their children. <\/p>\n

The organization started with one home and has expanded to four, serving more than 30 women, according to the nonprofit. <\/p>\n

Erika Schoenhofer, the program director at Redeemer House, said that she understands how powerful addiction can be.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have to decide to continue this path for myself and my children,\u201d Schoenhofer said. \u201cBut when that disease kicks in, not even the love of my son telling me, \u2018Mommy, don\u2019t go,\u2019 could stop me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Schoenhofer said her mother and her child helped push her toward recovery.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I first moved into that house, my mom said, \u2018Please don\u2019t. I\u2019m scared for you,\u201d she said. \u201cI said, \u2018Mommy, please trust me. I need to do this for myself and my child so I can get better.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

At Redeemer House, women receive shelter and help with work and education opportunities, along with other resources designed to support stability during recovery.<\/p>\n

Kristen Carson said that she spent years living on the streets, struggling before she found Redeemer House.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had a lot of anger. I had a lot of fear. I had a lot of self-doubt,\u201d Carson said. \u201cI was mad from the past. I didn\u2019t know how to let that go.\u201d<\/p>\n

Carson said the environment at Redeemer House has helped her begin rebuilding.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow I\u2019m around people that are loving and caring and supportive,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Carson said her mother helped lead her to the program, and her daughter motivates her to stay focused on recovery.<\/p>\n

Whitney Reynolds said her children have remained her motivation through years of instability and anxiety.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo matter what, my sons, they would, they\u2019d look up to me,\u201d Reynolds said. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter what situation we\u2019re in, they\u2019re always like, they have so much love for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reynolds said that she hopes other mothers who are struggling know they can ask for help.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust reach out for hope because there is hope out there for you,\u201d Reynolds said.<\/p>\n

Redeemer House said women move on once they are stable and ready to live independently.<\/p>\n
