"The trauma I faced played a significant role in shaping who I am today, therefore I am not ashamed, and I don't regret facing it."

Hi, I am Karen Williams 'Ayre', Director of Operations for Shift of Weight.  I am delighted to bring a unique blend of services to support the needs of our community.  My journey of struggle and trauma drives my passion to assist you. Your mental, physical, and spiritual well-being is my priority. In support of my ability to serve you, I have endured a significant amount of hardships, including the devastating very lengthy experiences of homelessness, physical and sexual abuse, misrepresentations, and childhood trauma, which had profound impacts on my mental and emotional well-being. "Overcoming obstacles, I pursued advanced education and professional credentials, allowing me to now fully dedicate myself to serving you. For this opportunity, I am truly grateful." ​

 I really understood Ms. Karen "Ayre" when she explained how important it is to ask for help if you do not know how to get it on your own, and how important it is to keep pushing forward towards my goals. She also encouraged me to further my passion to give to others. She was so kind to point me towards a school that would help me get some skills.

 When I came into the room I was wondering if I was going to be like this for the rest of my life. Listening to Ms. Karen "Ayre" and how she put everything; I started to feel alive and confident that I didn't have to live this way forever. I appreciate her putting her thoughts into my mind. It actually came to my mind that I can push further. She also taught us how our struggles can be an asset in getting ahead.

 When I met "Ayre" she had a warm spirit. I was not use to having someone like her around. She let me talk about me and was patient with me when I broke down. I felt she was listening to everything I said and that helped me to talk. I was so comfortable talking to her and listening to what she said to me.

"You Are Never Alone"

Psalm 139:1-12

For the director of music. Of David. A Psalm.

139 O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether.Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
