"I came to Genesis Joy House Homeless Shelter for Women Veterans after a domestic violence event that left me sleeping in my car since that was his home, not mine. After a couple days, an out-of-town Army veteran friend of mine told me to reach out to the VA at Fort McPherson in Atlanta. The VA community resources referred me to Genesis Joy House in Warner Robins. I called and spoke to Margaret, who is the founder of Genesis, and she said they could help. Margaret asked me to call Ms. Sharon Rogers and she called me the next day and worked as quickly as she could to get me processed and off the street. It just so happened a room was becoming available the following Monday. I only stayed in my car for a week total, which was an arduous task as I am disabled physically and mentally. I’m grateful to both ladies who worked to get me in a safe place after the trauma I experienced and get me off the street. It was a true blessing. My stay here has been wonderful and I’m learning a lot with the workshops, financial advice, and the programs that are assisting me in getting my own place. Thank you, Genesis Joy House!"

"Many thanks to Genesis Joy House for 'female' veterans. This female-centered approach has not only housed me temporarily in a comfortable atmosphere, but has also provided supportive services for me to finally get on my feet such as consistent meals, self-care items, establishing ongoing savings, and help finding long-term stable housing."

“While attending the Ask A Banker webinar through Genesis, I learned many different things that I believe were vital. Everyone was nice and patient with us and explained everything so clearly. I learned about the home buying process, how important it is to save, interest rates and banking insights. I am thankful for the invite to attend."

“The Ask A Banker webinar that Genesis Joy House provided was really informative for me. I learned a lot about how to keep my money more secure. It was especially eye opening to learn the difference between Zelle and other cash apps like Venmo and Cash App."

“I wasn’t aware that you can receive two free credit reports a year in the state of Georgia until I attended the financial literacy webinar through Genesis Joy House. I also have been working on building my credit through the information that I received.”

“I needed an understanding regarding a regular savings account versus a money market savings, and now I better understand the difference between the two, from the financial literacy webinar through Genesis, and have since opened a money market account.”

“I was very thankful to be a part of the Ask A Banker webinar that was offered by Genesis Joy House and Truist Bank. I needed help in regards to an annuity that I’ve inherited and I needed to find out what direction to go regarding a payout. I was treated very well by all those concerned and was given some great advice which I’ve utilized.”

"Nobody wants to say, 'I can't put a roof over my head'; Nobody wants to say, 'I need help clothing my children'. At Genesis, we are bringing them to the next level they need in order to be able to stand on their own."

"Genesis Joy House has been an amazing Bright Light in some of the darkest, loneliness moments in my life. When I think of Genesis, the one word that comes to mind is "dignity" they are NOT a hand out, they're a "Hand Up". When life's tragedy hit my family, I didn't even know how to ask for help. I had assumed those closest to us would be the ones to help us, sadly enough the only thing people said to us was, "we'll pray for you". While emotionally that may have offered some comfort, it did not come even close to reaching our needs. In daily living we do not need for nothing, but when this life crisis came so fast and was so incredibly overwhelming my family was stunned. It was so overwhelming I literally felt like I was going to have a breakdown. This is when the team at Genesis, led by the amazing woman of God, Margaret Queen-Flower, calmed me down enough to get me to tell them exactly what my needs were. It took me a couple of days to respond to Mrs. Flowers because I could not believe someone was going to help. Then the calls started to come' there were real people, literally going to give me the things I needed from diapers, to baby beds, clothes, toys, food, toiletries and so so much more. All while preserving my dignity about needing help. We are a simple family, going about our daily lives, and we needed help. Genesis was there to pick us up. THANK YOU Genesis from the bottom of our hearts."

"There is so much frustration when your brain doesn't work right. You see where you used to be and what you used to be capable of. Now I can't do any of those things."

"After combat, it can be very difficult to return to your normal self. It can be a real struggle without the right services in place. Genesis gives veterans a second chance."
