Women Offering Women Support (W.O.W.S.) with its home in Chrysalis House, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

Why does this ministry exist?
W.O.W.S. was founded by Tammy Pearson.  Tammy struggled as a single mom for seven years and through this experience learned that God's unconditional love and acceptance is what women today need to overcome the hopelessness of a fallen world.  Tammy saw a serious community need for a "safe haven" of transitional housing for women with children who are homeless, unwed teenage mothers who are in need of a safe and loving living environment, and a starting over place for women being released from prison.  Her vision was to find a way to help other single women overcome the battles they face every day and help them learn to turn to the Lord for all of their needs.  She envisioned a place where women could find not only shelter, but the supportive environment needed to begin a relationship with the Lord that would enable them to succeed long after their need for shelter had been met. 

What is Chrysalis?
Chrysalis is the name of the building that the Lord blessed Tammy with to carry out the mission she envisioned.  The word chrysalis describes the transformation a butterfly undergoes, a transformation which is representative of what W.O.W.S. hopes to help women achieve.  The building that was donated is 27,872 square feet on 9.4 acres of land.  Chrysalis House was formally used as a nursing home. The building, which is in the process of being remodeled, will serve 12 counties surrounding Sulphur Springs.  It includes 46 rooms, a kitchen, dining room, chapel, outer courtyard and two common areas. Once completed Chrysalis House will accommodate 108 women and children. 

How can you help?
There are several ways that you can help the W.O.W.S. ministry.  You can help by pledging financial support to assist with costs such as utility bills, insurance payments, repairs and materials.  W.O.W.S. is also in need of material donations and volunteers willing to pledge their time to help make repairs and clean up the building.  An individual or organization can also choose to "sponsor" one of the 46 rooms or any of the main rooms.  Sponsors are given the opportunity to decorate and furnish the room in any way they would like.  A plaque is then placed on the door of the completed room bearing the sponsor's name.  To learn more about how you can help email or call us.
