ABOUT AJS HOPE LLC
MISSION STATEMENT
AJS Hope LLC empowers survivors through trauma-informed education that builds strength, resilience, and long-term emotional stability.
OUR STORY
Why I Founded AJS Hope LLC
Callie Csercsa, a psychology graduate with hands-on experience in homeless services, domestic violence support, crisis response, and community mental health programming, founded AJS Hope LLC.
But the deeper reason for AJS Hope lies in Callie’s own life, loss, and healing.
The name AJS is a tribute to two people who shaped her mission:
A – Aden Wise, Callie’s son, whose life was tragically lost.
J – Josue Montesinos, her fiancé, who passed away after facing overwhelming emotional pain connected to these events.
Both losses happened during moments that would have broken most people. Instead, Callie chose to transform her pain into purpose.
AJS Hope was founded to honor their names, their memory, and their story — by helping others who are carrying trauma, grief, and wounds from domestic violence, instability, or crisis situations. The mission is simple:
To create healing spaces, practical tools, and compassionate programs so no one has to walk through their darkest moments alone.
AJS Hope exists because hope must be built, shared, and carried — especially when life feels impossible.
Callie’s journey, both personally and professionally, fuels a commitment to trauma-informed education, emotional wellness, and empowerment for survivors and community members seeking a path forward.
After serving at ROC in Saginaw, The Mission in Sandusky, and Emanuel Christian Counseling in Caro, Callie saw a major community need:
Accessible, affordable trauma-informed classes for individuals who cannot access therapy or are waiting for services.
AJS Hope LLC fills that gap.
