Who Is Cynthia Day?
Once a Vice President of a large corporation, Cynthia's life became consumed by alcoholism and was unemployable within two years..Cynthia hoped for a a miracle and over the years, her path lead her into recovery from addiction and into a ministry of healing as a psychiatric nurse working in the field of chemical dependency. The Cynthia Day Family Center carries on the spirit of hope and the miracle of recovery that Cynthia's life so exemplifies.
We also hope to spread a sparkle here an there for all women, like Cynthia, who may need to know that they can "Expect a miracle!"
