Donna Kelly…a heart for the homeless

May 20, 2009

She is an outreach nurse with Care Alliance and she’s passionate about helping the homeless. But her desire to help goes beyond providing quality health care.

Donna discovered that books were the perfect medicine for her clients. You may say “books”? Yep, books!

Ruth Johnson…a story of purpose

May 13, 2009

She grew up in a strong Christian home.  Believing the best in people. Until something bad happened. She wasn’t abused by her enemies. She was abused by a boyfriend and the man she thought she would love forever.

Ruth Johnson’s story is hard to hear, but needs to be told. There are many women who suffer through domestic violence not knowing where to turn. Hopefully her transparency and candidness will inspire a woman to seek help because help is available.

If you need more information, Ruth founded Pneuma Life Foundation for the Prevention of Abusive Family Environments. You can contact them via e-mail pneumalife1996@yahoo.com

Ruth has a powerful story and I feel honored that she trusted me with it. Click on the link below to watch it.

p.s. Ruth is now happily re-married to a wonderful man and she continues to train and inform people on domestic violence issues.

Marisol Lugo…an inspirtation

May 6, 2009

Every now and then I meet people who inspire me to be a better person. Marisol Lugo is one of those people.  She is strong, courageous, intelligent and a beautiful woman inside and out.

Her life hasn’t been easy. She’s had some rough times growing up and her adult life has been filled with challenges. Yet  Marisol took her “mess” and turned it into a message. A message of hope.

Transitional Housing played a key role in her turnaround. If you would like more information on their programs go to  www.transitionalhousinginc.com

I am glad that I know her. I know the sky is the limit for this determined woman. Click on the link below to hear “Marisol’s Story”.
