by Amanda Spears,

For me, this week's person of the week was a treat, because she is one of the best women I know. When I reached out to her to tell her she was chosen for person of the week, she was speechless. Hope you all enjoy getting to know a little bit about her!

Q.) Can you tell me a little about yourself?

A.) I have two sons, Jarrett and Justin. I have a tax preparation business. I have a full time job, where I work from home for a company out of California. I also try to do a lot in the recovery community, especially with the girls here at The Hope Center. I enjoy helping those in recovery because the Lord rescued me from the pits of hell. And if I can help anyone that is struggling and just share my light with them and show them a better way, I will.
