Still Standing After Surgery
"I wasn't sure how I would make it through recovery, but God carried me one day at a time. The prayers of this community held me up when I had no strength left of my own."
From Grief to Gratitude
"Losing my wife was the hardest thing I have ever walked through. For two years I did not think I would make it. Then I found this community, and I realized I was not walking alone."
Caregiving Without Losing Myself
"I was my mother's sole caregiver for six years while working full-time. I was exhausted in ways I could not explain. Learning that my story mattered too changed everything for me."
Transplant Journey: Four Years on the List
"Waiting for a kidney taught me more about faith than any sermon ever could. Four years. Countless false alarms. And then one phone call that changed everything."
Divorce Did Not Destroy Me
"I thought my life was over when my marriage ended after 22 years. But God was not finished with my story. Today I am stronger, healthier, and more hopeful than I have ever been."
Recovery: One Day at a Time
"Addiction nearly took everything from me. My family. My career. My faith. But I am still here — clean for three years — and I want other people to know that recovery is possible."
Financial Ruin to Restoration
"When the bills piled up and the foreclosure notice came, I did not know how we would survive. But God made a way when there was no way. Today I testify: He is still a provider."
Walking Through the Valley of Loss
"I lost my son. Then I lost my mother. Within two years, grief had hollowed me out. But the love of this community, the prayers, and the reminder that I still had purpose — that saved my life."
A Caregiver's Faith Testimony
"Caring for my wife through dialysis changed me. It taught me a kind of love I did not know I was capable of. It also taught me that caregivers need care too — and this ministry gave me that."

"I'm still here after end-stage renal disease, ten near-death medical crises in one year, five blood transfusions, estrangement, caregiving, loss, and every hard season that tried to write the end of my story before God was finished."
— Pastor Nicole Washington, North Metro Atlanta, Georgia
I started Still Here Stories because I know what it feels like to need to hear that someone else made it through. That survival is possible. That God is still faithful in the middle of the worst seasons.
