Healing Hurts Ministries is a faith-based, trauma-informed nonprofit serving single-parent families facing poverty, housing instability, and unmet basic needs.
We provide essential resources such as diapers and clothing, conduct individualized needs assessments, screen for public benefits, and connect families to stabilizing supports. Our work addresses immediate crises while reducing long-term barriers through healing-centered, dignity-focused care that moves families from survival to stability.
The Healing Hurts staff strives to provide you with a loving,
non-judgmental environment where you will receive grace
and mercy as you grow and mature. It is our goal to assist
you in setting and achieving personal goals to wholeness
in these five areas:
• Spiritual
• Physical
• Intellectual
• Emotional
• Vocational
Nefateri Smalls is married to Oddie Smalls and they reside in Ridgeville, SC. This beautiful union brough together a “Brady bunch” of its own with two boys and three girls. When she is not fulfilling the duties of CEO for Healing Hurts, Nefateri enjoys reading, writing, singing, and enjoying time with her family.
Healing Hurts is more than something I do….I believe that not only do hurting people hurt other people, but I believe that whole individuals have a magnetizing domino effect because their own journey to wholeness is a message of hope all by itself.
Oddie is married to Nefateri Smalls and resides in Ridgeville, SC. Oddie was born and raised in the Lowcountry (Charleston area). He shares the joy of his five children with his wife. He is what some would call a jack of all trades. Having a large family is something he knows all too well as he is the youngest of 10 siblings. Aside from spearheading the fatherhood initiative for Healing Hurts, Oddie enjoys old time classic car shows, Andy Griffith, and singing.
Healing Hurts carries a special place in my heart. It has never been about a church house of worship, but about seeing to it that whatever I do brings about a change in the lives of those that I am able to reach.
