Meet Tara
There is nothing I'd rather do than spread a message of hope. I miss all of you so much. It was you guys that helped me establish myself and become a productive member of society. It is only because of Perpetual Help Home and the people associated with it that I am where I am today.
In the two years that I was a resident there, I learned how to mother my child, which is why I have such a wonderful daughter that will grow up to respect me. 
She talks a lot. She will say the same word over and over again until you repeat it. Anyway, I went to college and learned so many job skills, which is why I have a great job making good money. I learned how to love myself, which is why I can actually love the man that I was meant to love. I learned about God's love for me and how he has a plan for all of us and who never leaves us. Which is why I am HAPPY!
After 11 years in bondage I am free!!!!!
I love my life. This place really works. I am living proof. I have been drug-free and jail-free for 3 years and will NEVER go back (and I wouldn't just say that). Don't get me wrong I still deal with drug dreams and temptations, but I am strong because Perpetual Help Home taught me strength. I love you. I have so much respect for you ladies and what you all stand for and believe in. Anything is possible!
