We are excited to announce that an anonymous donor has offered up to a $2000 match to support Pat's Place, as well as build a home in the community! Will you join us in reaching our fundraising goal of $2000? Click below today to donate!
We have had a great couple of months at Pat’s Place. While the world moves on, we have been making the best of our surroundings. As most of you know, this is vacation time in Peru. That means the children are out of school: each day filled with family time and games, every night is movie night. Laura and Pamela are taking great care of our families. In the picture above we have actually had four new people join us at the house. A set of twins (Luz Marina, Luz Maria) that are 16 years old (one of which has an eight-month-old baby named Alondra). We also have their sister, Flor Celeste, who is 11 years old staying with us. Normally, we are not able to take women without their mothers, especially those under the age of 18. However, this was an emergency situation with which the government approached us. I am honored and proud to say that we have been able to accommodate them and bring this family into our mix.
Laura has been very diligent during this time, teaching the families about what it means to love, to be loved, and how to love your children even when they came from such an abusive relationship. We tend to forget that almost all of the kids came from an abusive situation, and the mothers (very often) come in with a heart of stone toward their children because of this. So Laura spends every day teaching, guiding, and training them on how to approach life and how to love now with the love of Christ. This is a long process, but we have seen the changes first-hand in the mothers' and children's lives.
