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
