Who We Are
Break the Cycle. transform their future
How It Started…
An unlikely friendship with a tough beginning, Shemaka Portley and Christina Wallis forged a common bond joined by the kids they shared a love for, and together they birthed a mission that is changing family generations and restoring broken lineages.
Shemaka’s story begins like most CPS moms who lose their kids, but her ending is quite the opposite. With a trauma-filled start in life, Shemaka found herself caught in generation cycles of dysfunction, trauma and loss. After several relapses and nearly losing her children forever, she found transformation through Jesus and began the arduous journey to change her future and the future of her children. Through a friendship with her kids’ foster mom, Christina, Shemaka decided she wanted to help women- moms like her. Together they launched the long-needed first official CPS mom support group in their area, Alabaster Moms, and continue working together to change the lineage of women and their children from broken to blessed.
What We Do
Community
Mothers who are working programs to get their children back from the state and who are recovering from addictions, abuse and trauma NEED a healthy community of support and relationships to be successful. They need other moms who have been in their shoes and have walked that road successfully before to help them rebuild. Alabaster moms are those moms, we are that community.
Mentorship
Recovering moms need to learn new healthy and functional skills- and FAST! Many times these moms have come from hard places themselves, not learning vital skills for success. Volunteers and mentors come alongside these women who seek to equip themselves to rebuild their lives and their homes.
Resources
Communities hold a vast plethora of resources that are often left untapped and unknown to those who need it. By providing an organized collection of available organizations and resources, Alabaster women can take charge of their lives and their future.
Need a community of women like you? Want to mentor/ volunteer?
Our Mission
To cultivate and reveal the significance, beauty and worth of recovering moms to themselves, to each other, to their family, and to society by providing opportunities to successfully create a thriving home, family and life using a community of support, mentorship, relationship, and resources.
Our Purpose
To help recovering moms and their families survive and thrive
Our vision
To dramtically change future generations by breaking cycles of dysfunction & trauma and replace them with blessings & righteous inheritance.
Our values
Each woman has a unique destiny woven inside that is needed by the world around them. They have been beautifully designed for a purpose and it is never too late to become what is created within them.
Success is achieved through spiritual, physical, and mental strengthening.
Identity is God-given and the value of each woman is as precious as the alabaster jar of perfume poured out on the feet of Jesus. Nothing can remove this value she holds inside.
