Testimonials

My journey has been hard and long. It started July 8, 2012 and I will be going home April 28, 2013. I have been in Rochester this whole time. I came here due to congestive heart failure and plenty of fluid on board. In September, I received an LVAD to keep my heart going until a transplant is ready for me.

Being at Serenity House Network has been so healing – a very wonderful home setting. It’s quiet and close to shopping and restaurants. I can tell God is in this place and all of the SHN homes.

Greg and Jodie have been great friends and great help to my parents who have been taking care of me. We have shared dinners and treats while we were here.

May God Bless the SHN family!!!

God please bless all that have come and those who are yet to come here. God’s healing is power to all those who need and ask for it.

God Bless,

We loved our stay here. It felt like HOME.

My husband was here for a stem cell transplant. We had to make several trips back and forth to the hospital each day. This condo was a blessing and we don’t know how we could have done it any other place. Your condo was also the perfect place to come and relax after long, hard days. Thank you!

Dear Greg and Jodie, Thank you so much for the wonderful hospitality and beautiful home you provided us during our stay. Your generosity exceeded what one would have expected. Please keep up the “good work” for those in need. I know we were blessed to have found you. May God keep you close and help you continue your work, Love,

Greg and Jodie,

Thank you so much for making our extended stay here at the Serenity House Patrick apartment so comfortable. Your visits just to chat and to drop off the many “goodies” you so generously gifted us with were much appreciated. While we are not biblical scholars by any definition, your thoughtfulness brought to mind the seven corporal works of mercy (Matthew 25:34-40).

Your willingness to take time from your busy schedules to make our days at Serenity House more comfortable, certainly convey your strong Christian convictions.

Once again, thank you very much. I’ll close by citing an old Irish saying, “May you be in heaven a full half hour before the devil knows you are dead.”

Sincerely,

Heidi,

Thank you so much for your hospitality over the past month. The PRC program at Mayo was really hard but really good. Being able to come back to a real home, with such welcoming hosts, offering your help to babysit Caitlin was priceless and she loved you! We will never forget the time we spent here and consider it a true blessing from God to have met you and been led to the Serenity House Network.

Take care and God Bless,

In Christ,

Thank you for giving us a “home away from home” during this demanding week. Having such a comfortable and cozy place to return to at the end of each day helped tremendously. Your work at Serenity House Network is inspiring!

February 10-March 2, 2013

Thank you so much to Jodie and Greg for providing us with a welcoming and cozy home to stay in while in Rochester’s PRC program. We can’t imagine what it would have been like without this safe haven to begin and end each day. All the comfortable “special touches” were so wonderful and appreciated. Once again, thank you for this “home away from home”.

Greg and Jodie, Thanks so much for all your help. The apartment was fantastic, very comfortable and all necessary furnishings were appreciated. Thank you,

The White River House was the perfect thing I needed to get through the PRC program at the Mayo Clinic. Coming back to the house where it was peaceful and cozy made a huge impact on how I perceived things. I could meditate, sleep, and even do some stretches to distract myself from my pain. If this place was not here I don’t think I would have been half as successful in the program as I was.

Thank you,
