The Villages
A Ministry of Shane's Crib
The Villages
The Villages is a place where families can become families once again and children can be placed back with their mothers. It’s a safe place where mothers are supported and children can be thriving in an environment that is conducive to growing and healing.
Why the Villages?
While women are in recovery, many must displace their children to other friends, family or the foster system. As you can imagine, many times this is not ideal situations for these children. The Villages are the answer to these dire situations.
About The Villages
The Villages currently sits on 5 acres located behind our Living waters facility in Jesup Georgia and is a place for 5 homes. These homes at 1000+ square feet have two bedrooms, one bathroom which is perfect for the mom coming out of recovery and being able to be reunited with her children once again.
The Story
Faith. Hope. Grace. Promise. Hannah.
Each home has a name that is full of meaning and points women toward aspects of the Lord.
Hannah is specifically named after a young woman who lost her life to an overdose and whose mother went through recovery and graduated from Shane's Crib.
Stories of Overcoming
Anna battled active addiction for two decades, initially triggered by the loss of her best friend at 17. Despite a temporary slowdown during the birth of her first child, her addiction resurged after the second child, leading to a toxic, abusive marriage and a five-year separation from her children. However, after encountering God in jail and finding hope at Shane's Crib, Anna's life transformed, and she now proudly cheers on her fellow sisters in recovery, reunited with her two boys.
