LaRhonda Mabry

Founder - Heart of Gold Shelter

God gave me this vision in 2018 to start a nonprofit organization, and with much prayer and seeking God, I am 4 years later. I'm a survivor of domestic violence, and I know firsthand how I hid in silence, too afraid to speak about what had happened to me.

I was a woman who was battered, bruised, and it broke me mentally, physically, and spiritually. Honestly, I thank God for healing and forgiveness.  I have to give back to the community and help women who have suffered domestic violence.

Trust me, it's not an easy road to travel, but with trusting God, there will be light at the end of the road one day. I want every woman going through this difficult situation to know they can do life again, regardless of the setback.  

My ultimate goal is to serve as many women as possible that God will allow me to serve. Love Shouldn't Hurt and we have to break the cycle of domestic violence.
