Scholarship recipient, Jennifer Dodd, always lived a spiritual life, but after her stay at OHI, she feels more aligned and connected with God and her true self than ever before.
“I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2022,” said Jennifer. “For years, I have been very committed to maintaining excellent health. So, the diagnosis of cancer was shocking and shattering to me. In 2022 and 2023 I invested all I had into my healing, and saw the cancer disappear within 6 months. Then, in August 2024, I was told that the cancer had re-emerged in my lymph nodes. I was shocked, and knew I needed to embark on a much deeper detoxification journey. There were a number of other extremely stressful events that occurred in 2024, including the death of three friends, three unexpected surgeries, and family members with lives on the edge. I had reached a point where I felt I couldn’t hold the stress of this cancer diagnosis in addition to everything else I was dealing with. I realized I need to ask for help! A friend of mine was once a missionary at OHI, and she had been encouraging me to attend OHI for years. I didn’t have the funds, so I applied to OHI for a scholarship.”
Jennifer was granted a scholarship and soon arrived at OHI Austin. “My life is forever radically shifted for the better as a result of this experience,” said Jennifer. “The moment I stepped into the house at OHI Austin, I felt the spirit of healing. Each class was profoundly impactful to me. The social interactions were also very uplifting. The space and time to just BE in silence in the downtime allowed me to experience a deep and radical reconnection with my own essence. I reconnected with my own passionate heart and ability to fully heal.”
Jennifer is forever grateful to OHI for the scholarship. “I believe my life is a gift, and I honor all of this as a sacred journey,” said Jennifer. “I feel so deeply and fully blessed by my time at OHI. Thank you for the scholarship, OHI. I am truly grateful.”
