About the Founder
My name is Melonee Guy
Melonee Haney-Guy is a woman of remarkable resilience and wavering faith, Melonee is a 25-year recovering addict who has overcome both incarceration and a cancer diagnosis, once considered terminal. At just 22 years old, she was advised she had six months to live. Faced with what she believed to be a death sentence, she turned to crack cocaine as a way to cope. That season of
despair eventually led to incarceration–but it also became the turning point
in her life. During her time in prison, Melonee encountered both spiritual
awakening and life-changing connection. She met her future husband–also
incarcerated at the time–and their relationship began through a heartfelt
exchange of letters. Their letters were filled with reflections on faith, her
relationship with God, and the profound transformation she was
undergoing. Their shared belief in God’s redemptive power became the
foundation of their bond, and after his release, they married and began
building a new life together.
Now cancer-free for 34 years, Melonee and her husband run a successful
cleaning business, and have founded Diane’s House of Hope.
At Diane's House of Hope, we believe in the potential of every woman to embrace who they are, define their future, and change the world. We are committed to supporting women on their journey towards empowerment, independence, and self-discovery.
