Hi, my name is Oma and I’ve been at Rhonda’s House since April of 2020. I started out as a part time Peer Recovery Specialist and in October of 2022 I became the House Manager. Working here has given me great meaning to my life and I feel I have found my calling. Being able to share parts of my own recovery story to support others and possibly supporting them in their own recovery is a phenomenal feeling. This job has given me what I needed in my life as well.
I completed college with an Associates Degree in Administrative Office Support in 2018 and continue to take online classes to further my education to become better everyday.
I was born in Rockford, Illinois, my mother moved us to Iowa when I was 13 to care for her mother. I now live in the country outside of Dewitt, Iowa and absolutely love it. I enjoy my flower garden as well as my veggie garden. My sister and I have many cats & a goose named (lil’ girl). I’m an animal lover in many ways. At one time I loved making log cabin quilts and crocheting but I have gotten away from doing that. Living on a farm keeps me quite busy.

I just want to say that I am eternally grateful for the care and support that Oma and the rest of the staff have given me in my time at Rhonda’s House! God opened a door for me when there was no other, and He has blessed me tremendously through the time and experience during my stay. Thank you all for the good work you’re doing, and I look forward to many more times of fellowship and working with you all to help us, the least of these, to have a place of peace and rest with the support needed to move forward on solid ground! May you all be blessed by the Lord for your faithfulness to love and serve those in need!
