The beautiful memories of 3 years at Mary’s Guest House are what shaped me into the independent woman I am today. I used to feel broken and angry at myself for not being strong enough to stop what was happening to me. I lived in guilt for quite a long time but with the tremendous amount of support from the sisters and the volunteers, I was able to love myself again and tell myself that it was not my fault. Healing is a long journey, but I was never afraid because surrounding me is love from Sr. Judy, Sr. Christina, Sr. Mary Jane, Sr. Trish, and Sr. Lucie. They gave me the strength to let go of the past and to believe in myself that I can achieve whatever I want in life despite the trauma I have been through.
