The Amor Real team is proud to announce that Jessica has graduated the Pat’s Place program. Jessica has grown tremendously over the past 4 years. I remember the day she came to Pat’s Place broken, full of shame and doubt. Over the past 4 years, her life has been transformed from a broken woman who could barely make it through an entire day without breaking down into tears because of her past. Jessica has blossomed into an amazing mother who loves to spend time with her children and has been completely healed of her past. Jessica now has a new place to live and a job, and she is doing very well for herself. We will miss her and the kids at the house. However, we will be able to see them from time to time.
For the first time in 2 years, our kids are back in public school. There were mixed emotions as the first day of school rolled around. Some were excited to get back out there and spend time in class with their friends, while others were missing rolling out of bed and attending school online. Below are some pictures of our kids sporting their new uniforms. A big thank you goes out to The Prayer Room Church who provided the funds for this year’s uniforms.
Over the past year, we have spent extra time counseling and healing with the mothers. We are planning a trip in October where we will be taking the Youth on a 4-day retreat. We are looking to have Pastor Keith Torbert and Pastors Robert and Jennifer Walker be part of this trip to help guide our Youth. Lastly, we are looking for sponsors for this trip, as it is not part of our yearly budget. The 4-day trip cost for our kids is estimated at $4,000. Please note that the team going on the trip is paying their own way, and the money listed above is to cover the cost of food, lodging, and travel for the Youth.
