Meet the Team of Hope House

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Shaun M. Wilson Founder and Executive Director, when asked to do a bio for our website the things that came to mind were not about me. They were about the people who have touched my life over the last 6 1/2 years. Some came up with their own plan, some wanted a different path, some just wanted to have freedom and no one to answer to. Through these years there have been success stories, laughter, events and celebrations, however there have also been those punch in the gut reminders that we all struggle from time to time. We are not perfect, we fall, we get up and if we are lucky, we have the support to hold us up when we don't thing we can do it. So, my bio is about the next person that comes into Hope House for whatever reason as long as they walk away knowing that they are respected and loved. Love doesn't always come with hugs and encouragement, sometimes love comes from a place of care and a voice of truth even when it hurts to hear it. Through the love of my children, my team, and my faith, I am blessed and that is who i am.
