SYLVIA ANTHONY is a woman of faith, courage, tenacity and love. Her story shows that no matter a person’s background, age, or season in life, when we make ourselves available to God, He is able to accomplish great things through us. Sylvia believes “the golden years” are a time to gear up and get busy, not relax and take it easy. She has faced many hardships in her 90 years, but they have made her stronger and more determined. As founder and president of Sylvia’s Haven which became the second largest in the country, she has helped transform thousands of lives for more than thirty-five years! This organization is everything to Sylvia Anthony, even calling it her “magnificent obsession!” Life hasn’t been easy throughout the years, but Sylvia firmly believes that God not only gives her courage during times of hardship, but also keeps her healthy so that she may realize a dream of hers which is to open a Sylvia’s Haven shelter in all 50 states.

A Story of Persistence, Love, Failure and Success in a Woman’s Life

Sylvia’s story begins with her life as an unwanted child, beaten by her father and ignored by her mother, saved only by the love of God and her grandparents. At fifteen years of age, she met her first love. Later she married on a rebound and it was a bad marriage but produced three amazing children that she had to raise alone. In her second marriage she grew closer to God and was led to open a shelter for the homeless women and children.
