This summer Amor Real took our first mission trip to Peru in over a year. We teamed up with the Blackston family and headed down to Pat’s Place for ten days. While there, Holly, Eden, Lily, and Courtney painted an amazing mural on the second floor of Pat’s Place. While the artists were at work, Jeremy, Alex, Eli, and Elianna went out into the community of Paradise to build three houses. Holly and Courtney also took time to meet and pray with each woman of Pat’s Place and encourage them in their struggles.
Meet Carmen.
Carmen came to Pat’s Place in March of 2017, escaping abuse by family members, because of which she lost most of her eyesight and had her daughter Melanie, who is now eight years old. She is very grateful for finding Pat’s Place after trying to live on her own for two years prior without support for her child. Now she has had treatment for her eyes but still can only see shapes. She has a smile on her face that was never there before and hope for her future. She would like to learn Braille and study massage therapy, but in the meantime she is attempting to clean houses with the continued support of Pat’s Place.
Pat's Place current annual budget is $60,000. To continue it's mission of helping these women and their children heal from their domestic abuse and assimilate into society as restored children of Christ, we count on the kind supporters such as yourself. Please consider a donation today.
