On Saturday 27, 2012 I meet a lady from Nicaragua. She was
  serving in the kitchen as me; at first I taught she was a volunteer but I found
  out later she was a client. As I help serve the breakfast to the clients I
began to talk to the lady and she told me all about her experience at Star of
Hope. She came to Star of Hope to escape an abusive relationship she had with
her ex-husband. At the shelter she has found the peace and support she needed to
escape her pass life. She loves being at Star of Hope because they are helping
her achieve a college education. She also told me that she is so grateful places
like Star of Hope exist because if they didn’t she would be dead as well as her
kids.
