As a Casa Teresa staff member I have the privilege of seeing miracles unfold right before my eyes. Written from the heart, here is a testimony of reconciliation from one of our very own Casa Residents. -House Mom, Melissa
“My name is Adriana and I am a 36 year old mother of 5. I came to Casa Teresa and entered their Emergency Maternity Shelter on September 20th 2017. At that time I was broken, tired, and 39 weeks pregnant with my youngest daughter. I had very little contact with any of my children at that time and all I knew was that I was very scared of reality and desperate for change. In the little time I have been at Casa I have begun to mend my broken relationships with my children and other loved ones. This Thanksgiving was the first time ever that I was blessed to have cooked dinner for all of my kids. It was an amazing experience that I would have otherwise not had if it wasn't for Casa Teresa. I am learning how to improve my parenting skills as well as many other useful things such as coping and time management. I'm shown love that I have never had before and today I can honestly say that I love the woman I see in the mirror. Thank you Casa Teresa for loving me until I could love myself.” -Adriana

I love the success stories from Casa Teresa. They are stories of real love, found when we let go of self and give to God. The rest falls into place. So happy to hear of Adriana's reunion!
