My name is Wambui Wainaina, originally from Kenya, East Africa. The reason for leaving family and loved ones behind to migrate to America was to find better pastures for our young nuclear family; my then husband and our two precious bundles of joy. We taught the children to know God and read the Bible and taught them to memorize scriptures. As the children grew older, and into high school, Eric, the younger of my two children, fell into bad company, and for most of his very short life on earth, he struggled hard with addictions, but fought just as hard to walk with God. Without family close-by and far from home in a jail in Arizona, Eric, unbeknown to me, had a friend who visited him in jail often. I was honored when Liz asked me to write a snapshot of why I financially support the ministry of Hope For Addiction. I will always be indebted to Liz for prayers and the close friendship she had with Eric, even when I did not know her. I believe everyone in jail needs a friend like my son had. Not sure how many other people Liz visited in jails, spending her own resources and time, but I am sure there were others, even before the ministry was born. I am paying forward, and there is no one better than Liz with who to partner with in this regard. I believe Liz has a real, genuine call for the population with which she has become a specialist. Ministry needs people equipped to do the work needed with expertise and am personally impressed with Liz’s efforts to educate herself and know as much as possible about additions and be resourceful as well as biblical. I believe God is looking for “distributors.” Unlike the rich man who wanted to expand his storage, I want to give because I have been given; God has been very good to me. I encourage everyone within the reach of this ministry to give what they can. Finally, I give to Hope For Addiction because I believe it is rich soil in which to plant. It is not every ministry that is genuine, and as a supporter, I always check out the credibility of the ministry; Hope For Addiction and Liz check out. Accordingly, I give with confidence that the money I give goes where I am told it does. I also have confidence that many families are being restored. Am proud to be a partner in Hope for Addiction.
