Our Lady of Fatima Ii

"At Villa Maria it wasn’t just, ‘we’re going to fix your kid.’ It’s, ‘we’re going to prepare him to handle these things on his own. We’re going to prepare you to help him handle these things.’ And that’s what they did.”

"I pretty much totally surrendered and said: I’m just going to do what this program asks of me. And since I’ve done that, everything has fallen in place. I’m still getting things back that I lost in addiction.”

A faith which is lived out in a serious manner gives rise to acts of authentic charity. Pope Francis

I was working when my children were small, and the ideas about raising children have changed so dramatically since our day.

My love for this population and my desire to help them came from experiencing the kindness of strangers on my own travels. There's something special about welcoming a stranger to your country, and hearing their stories.
