“Before St. Elizabeth Lodge, I had given up on possibilities of change,” Tameika says. “I thought I was too old and too damaged to have a better home, a better job, a better life.” Now, she hopes other women who are suffering will not be scared to do something different. “I want them to know they can also ask for help, and that it is never too late.”
