Rosie and Pablo have a safe place to be!

Rosie and her six brothers and sisters were dropped off at an orphanage in New York in the late 1960’s.  Her family was from Puerto Rico and her parents could no longer afford to take care of their children.  She and one of her sisters were adopted by a couple in Seattle and raised here.  Throughout her life she has been a victim of domestic violence.  She has three grown children and Pablo.  She and her 5-year-old son, Pablo have been homeless off and on since he was four months old.  When she made it to Mary’s Place she was welcomed and immediately started to feel less depressed and scared.  They have helped her find shelters that will take her and Pablo each night.  Today Rosie is looking for work in retail and hopes to find a job and housing so she can stay with her son.

Your gift, Gregj, of a week of safety and support has allowed Rosie and her son Pablo to overcome challenges and start over.  Thank you so much for your generous gift!
