Overcomer Reforge at Wind Haven

09/14/2025

🌿 Hello Muncie! We’re Wind Haven 🌿

Wind Haven is a nonprofit originally founded in Georgia by our family to support survivors of domestic abuse—including systemic abuse—and to combat homelessness and rising poverty, which often leave survivors trapped and contributes to further housing instability. We know that in many communities, exploitative landlords, unsafe housing, and a lack of affordable options make it even harder for survivors and vulnerable tenants to find stability.

Our family and nonprofit were displaced in Georgia due to negligent landlords and mold in the apartment we had called home and run our grassroots nonprofit from for five years. We returned to Muncie seeking better opportunities, more favorable income, and a place to continue our mission.

While exploring the local housing scene, we quickly noticed many properties facing the same problems we left behind. In Georgia, fighting these issues wasn’t feasible—but here in Muncie, there’s a spark we didn’t see before: the Hoosier fire. Local activists, students, and tenants are standing up, speaking out, and demanding change. Georgia was complacent… but Muncie is not.

We were forced out of Georgia, but have not forgotten what we left behind. We intend to continue our work here and expand back to where it started and nationwide to combat these issues head on.

I’m the CEO and visionary of Wind Haven, a Hoosier native, born at Ball Memorial Hospital, raised in Selma, Muncie, and a Cowan graduate, and also a Human Services major. I’m bringing my experience, education, and passion home to listen, learn, and support tenants and survivors in our community.

Right now, we’re officially setting up Wind Haven in Indiana and starting small, one step at a time. Follow us to stay connected and hear how we aim to make a difference for tenants and survivors in Muncie.

🚨 Wind Haven Update: From Crisis to Continuation 🚨

Our Wind Haven family has faced a severe black mold infestation, forcing a difficult but necessary decision: we’re relocating to Muncie, Indiana, to stabilize our health and our nonprofit. It’s literally “Muncie or bust.”

But we’re not leaving our mission behind. From Muncie, we will continue our Warner Robins housing project, working to fight the root causes of systemic abuse, injustice, and oppression—what we define as systemic domestic abuse. For years, we’ve lived the challenges of Georgia’s housing crisis—experiencing firsthand the barriers and systemic failures that trap families like ours. These lived experiences are now shaping the pilot program ideas that will become a national model of support for survivors.

Why your support matters:
• Survivor-led mission: Solutions come from real-life experience, not theory.
• Fighting systemic abuse: We don’t just treat symptoms—we confront the root causes of injustice, oppression, and domestic abuse.
• Developing programs from lived challenges: Our insights ensure practical, effective support for others.
• Scalable national vision: Your contribution fuels the backbone of Wind Haven so we can turn these ideas into actionable programs nationwide.
• Stabilizing our team: Operating from Indiana allows us to work efficiently and safely—while continuing our Georgia initiatives.

💛 How you can help:

Donations to Wind Haven’s General Operations Fund directly support our ability to:
• Maintain daily operations while developing programs based on lived experience
• Continue the Warner Robins project from Muncie
• Fight systemic abuse by supporting displaced families rebuilding in safe environments

Every contribution, no matter the size, fuels survivors helping survivors. We can’t do this without you.

Thank you for standing with us—through the crisis, the move, and the mission. Together, we’re confronting the root causes of abuse and building solutions that last.

🎯 Let’s Be Clear: This Isn’t About Control—It’s About Covenant

There’s a lot of noise out there about “living together before marriage,” and it usually centers around s*x. But at Wind Haven Foundation, we dig deeper than that. We don’t do surface-level religion—we seek God’s heart.

So let’s set the record straight.

I’m not trying to push s*x outside of commitment. In fact, I’m saying the opposite.

What gets twisted is this idea that marriage equals covenant. But the truth is:

Marriage—legally speaking—was a concession. Covenant is God’s design.

S*x outside of commitment hurts—not because God’s mad, but because God loves us enough to protect us from soul wounds.

It hurts when someone cheats. It hurts when someone uses s*x as leverage in a fake relationship. It hurts when you give your body to someone who hasn’t committed to your soul.

God’s not uptight about your floorplan—He’s concerned about your foundation.

At Wind Haven, we walk with survivors every day who’ve been used, discarded, and betrayed by people who played house with holy things. And we see the healing that happens when people stop chasing contracts and start pursuing covenant.

So no, living together isn’t automatically sin.

But calling something covenant when it isn’t?
That’s where hearts get broken.

God’s not anti-s*x. He’s anti-using people.
He’s not anti-living together. He’s anti-confusion and counterfeit love.

Don’t just ask:

“Can we live together if we’re not having s*x?”

Instead, ask:
• Are we walking in covenant, not just comfort?
• Are we honoring each other’s emotional, spiritual, and physical safety?
• Are we building a relationship that reflects heaven, not just a Netflix account?

Because covenant isn’t just saying “I do.” It’s saying, “I’m staying.”
It’s protection before passion.
Foundation before furniture.
Legacy before lifestyle.

At Wind Haven, we believe in that kind of love.

You are more than a conqueror.
You’re an Overcomer.

📍 WARNER ROBINS, GA—WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT HOUSING.

You ever walked into a place and thought, "This isn't just a fixer-upper... this is a safety hazard"?

We have.

Too many survivors of domestic violence in Middle Georgia are being funneled into housing that looks like a time capsule from 1985—and not the charming kind. We're talking busted HVAC, moldy vents, roach hotels, carpets so torn you could trip into next week. 🪳💀

This isn’t just about comfort—it’s about dignity, safety, and survival.

🚨 Domestic violence doesn’t end when someone leaves—it just changes forms. Unsafe, unstable housing puts survivors and families right back at risk. That’s why Wind Haven is stepping in.

But we can’t do it without YOU.
