Meet Rotunda

At God's Shelter of Love, we believe in providing more than just shelter—we offer hope, love, and a path to a brighter future. Our mission, rooted in Christian values, has remained steadfast since we began in the early 90s. We are blessed to be the only women's and children's shelter in Decatur, serving as a beacon of hope for those in need.
Today, we share the inspiring story of Rotunda Montgomery, a testament to the transformative power of faith and community.

A Call for HelpIn May 2023, Rotunda Montgomery found herself at a crossroads. Trapped in an abusive relationship and with no financial or familial support, she felt lost and desperate. In a moment of courage, she reached out to God's Shelter of Love, a decision that would change her life forever.
"I didn't know people that you don't know could care about you so much," Rotunda shared, reflecting on her initial experience with our shelter. Her words encapsulate the essence of our mission—to provide unconditional love and support to those who seek our help.
A Journey of TransformationWhile staying at God's Shelter of Love, Rotunda received not just shelter, but a wealth of support and guidance. Our dedicated team worked tirelessly to help her achieve goals she once thought impossible. Through the grace of God, Rotunda's life began to transform.
"I have money saved which I never had. I have a car. I got an apartment, and I have a driver's license," she proudly stated. These milestones are more than just material achievements; they represent a newfound sense of independence and confidence.
Rotunda's journey is a powerful reminder of what can be achieved when we come together as a community, guided by faith and compassion.

A New Beginning

Nine months after her arrival, Rotunda is ready to embark on a new chapter of her life. She is moving out of the shelter, equipped with the tools and confidence to live independently. But as she leaves, she carries with her more than just tangible assets—she carries the love and support of a family.

"When I came here, I came by myself, but I'm leaving with a family that is God's Shelter of Love," Rotunda said, her voice filled with gratitude and hope.
