It totally changed the way I felt about myself and my life (for the better), and I made it through it all. I'd recommend it to anyone who's ready and willing to change their life.”

“My life was falling apart everywhere around me. I did not recognize myself anymore. Finally God lead me here. I was scared and alone until I walked into your doors. I found hope, support and love when I thought I didn’t deserve it. Now I’ve rebuilt my life, my family and my heart. I’m a very strong, confident and beautiful woman. I have things back in my life I haven’t had in years. So for me Casa de Amigas was the answer.”
