Carolyne

Artist: Jason Leith

Location: Orange County Rescue Mission

Carolyne is an exuberant servant. When Carolyne was 12, her single-parent mother went into an alcohol recovery program. They drifted in and out of having a roof over their heads. Her servant-heartedness and enthusiasm for life was taken advantage of at 20 years old when she landed in a manipulative group promising to help her restart her life. Despite everything, she found ways to grow within the group, becoming more outgoing and sharing Jesus more directly with people. Fortunately due to her strong connection with God’s voice, she made it out in a short time. Carolyne was faced with starting over again. She eventually found a healthy place to build a foundation at the Double R Ranch. She is eager to grow her passion to serve, expressing how “Each one of us has a unique purpose in what we can take care of. It’s up to us to take care of it.” Carolyne’s first portrait sketch reflects how she has encountered darkness through broken relationships and spiritual oppression. But her final portrait reflects the joy and kindness people experience of her today.
