A Personal Message From Our Founder and CEO

 

​Life’s journey is uniquely personal. For some, the path is smooth; for others, it’s filled with unexpected detours that test faith, strength, and endurance. Many people who are struggling don’t always show it—they continue to show up, provide, and push through, often without support or understanding. I know this reality well because I’ve lived it.

​

As a single mother and working professional, I experienced seasons of silent struggle—times when I didn’t fit the typical image of someone “in need,” yet faced challenges that stretched me emotionally, financially, and spiritually. Those experiences taught me compassion on a deeper level and revealed how many people quietly navigate similar transitions, unseen and unsupported.

​

With the love of family, friends, and an unwavering faith, I found strength, purpose, and healing. Today, I’m blessed to live a life of peace, abundance, and gratitude—surrounded by a wonderful husband, a successful adult son, and a deep sense of fulfillment in serving others.

​

Out of that journey, S.O.A.R. Ministries and Transitional Services, Inc. was born. “S.O.A.R.” stands for She Overcame and Restored—a reflection of my personal story and a message of hope for others. It’s a reminder that sometimes the miracle we’re praying for isn’t something we receive—it’s something we become for others.

​

Our mission is to walk alongside individuals and families during life’s transitions, offering guidance, resources, and encouragement to help them rise above circumstances and rediscover their strength. Through S.O.A.R., I strive to help others find what I found: healing, restoration, and the courage to live fully in their truth.

​

In His Love, 

Rosa M. Haynes-Thomas
