“ There are some people who come into your life and leave a mark on your heart forever, and Lori Martin is one of those people for me. ❤️ When my children and I came back home from Georgia, our lives had changed overnight. I had gone from building a new home and a new dream to returning pregnant, with my children, starting over with little more than the clothes on our backs — just in time to welcome my fourth baby into the world. And then came Lori Martin and her incredible village at Revive & Restore. What could have been one of the most frightening transitions of my life was met with love, generosity, compassion, and support. They didn’t just help us fill a home with the things we needed — they helped make an empty space feel like home again. They took what felt like an impossible weight off a mama’s shoulders and reminded me that, even though life had changed overnight, my babies and I were going to be okay. Revive & Restore is so much more than an organization — it is people showing up for people when life happens unexpectedly. My children and I are living proof of the difference your village makes. Thank you, Lori Martin. Thank you, Revive & Restore. And thank you to every single person in this beautiful village who helped put our little world back together. You were an answered prayer during a chapter of my life when I needed one more than I could ever imagined!”
