Update- From Porn to God by Shelley Lubben

Help Women and Men Recover from Porn

by Shelley Lubben

Below are some of the precious women and men we have helped to rebuild their lives after porn. We are not able to share all of their stories due to some preferring to stay anonymous but they are definitely recovering and receiving help from Pink Cross.

To continue helping precious women and men we need Target cards to help them with new clothes, baby needs and household supplies, books, Bibles and resources to recover and also need bath and beauty supplies for outreaches. We also accept vehicles and property!

We currently reach out to THOUSANDS of women and men in porn throughout the year and because of your generosity, hundreds of women and men have walked away from a life of porn.
PLEASE SUPPORT OUR UNIQUE AND IMPORTANT MISSION AND HELP US CONTINUE TO REACH OUT TO PRECIOUS WOMEN AND MEN BY DONATING HERE. We can not do it without you so please have a heart and invest in these beautiful lives below. Thank you!

Madelyne, formerly known as porn star Michelle Avanti, came to Pink Cross for help in January, 2009, when she cried out to God because she couldn’t live the porn lifestyle anymore. God heard her cry and she is now living a new life thanks to many of you who donated! She also gave birth to a beautiful baby girl in August, 2009, so please send in baby clothes in good condition for size 1 year and above. Madelyne also wants to attend beauty school and move closer to Shelley in Bakersfield where team members can help care for her and the baby.

She wanted to help me because I was having a difficult time and I was low on money for food. About 3 days later I got a package in the mail from a foundation named The Pink Cross Foundation. I opened it up wondering what the Pink Cross was and who this was from. It was from Shelley and her husband Garret and the people at Pink Cross. I got a BIBLE and some other books as well as a DVD named Traffic Control. There was also a gift card for the grocery store and Home Depot. I was floored!”
