Our Vision
Our Story
Mending The Scarred was founded by Carmen Alonso, a woman deeply committed to helping those who are broken find hope and healing. Carmen’s journey began when she volunteered to lead a domestic violence awareness session at a Ladies’ God Encounter conference. To her surprise, the room was filled with women who were currently enduring abuse and living with their abusers. Heartbroken and moved by their courage, Carmen approached the pastor with a proposal: to offer a monthly class to raise awareness and provide support for women facing domestic violence. The pastor quickly embraced Carmen’s vision, giving her the green light to start what would become a life-changing mission.
Since its humble beginnings in 2017, Mending The Scarred has grown into a powerful community of support and transformation. Carmen’s encounters with survivors have been both humbling and inspiring, revealing the incredible resilience of those she serves. Today, Mending The Scarred carries forward its mission, offering hope, strength, and healing to women overcoming domestic violence and all forms of brokenness.
