Impact on Past Participants “Thank you so much for letting me become a part of this family. You have helped me find out new things about myself and how to deal with them. You helped me experience a range of emotions that I lost when I was younger. You have helped me open up my eyes again and not to look at everything with one perception. Coming to this program, I knew that it would be hard to let others see the real me and the inner beauty that I’ve been holding back for so long. Little by little on my own pace, I’m finding the strength to open up to others and not to fear rejections. There are no words to express the feeling that I have this program. It has helped me to bring out the real me. You have made my life very special.” ---Victor E. “Once again I am leaving this place with my cup overflowing. There are no words to express what every individual takes from this place; all the blessings, love, joy, and acceptance have come home with me time after time.” ---Danny O. “Thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to living this experience. It has really helped me find myself and the most important of all is to help me take these damn masks off me. I hope this could be the beginning of my new “video” life. Thank you for supporting every single one of us.” ---Alondra L. “This weekend I was in safe environment which made me feel comfortable. Before coming I thought I was going to be scared but what was different was that from the beginning we began with activities that broke the ice and helped us to communicate.” ---Balvina R. “A Life-changer, a weekend where you end up loving all those around you. It all came in a weekend package!” ---Raul V. “This weekend retreat meant a lot to me. It gave me an opportunity to let my guard down and just be me. This weekend was difficult for me because I realized for the first time that others (who are not my family) care about me; it overwhelmed me with such joy and appreciation. This is an awesome experience. I only wish everyone had an opportunity to experience this!” ---Jade B. “This has been the most amazing part of my life. I had never learned so much about my struggles and my abilities both physical and mental. I will never forget this experience and all the people that made it possible for me to get here. Thanks to all. I really do not have any words to explain. Thank you for making a difference in my life.” ---Perla P. “This weekend came at the perfect time for me in my life. I was so out of balance and confused about so much. This is exactly what I needed to get me on track again. I really was starting to give up on a lot. Words cannot and will never be able to express how deeply this program, weekend and people have touched my heart. Thank you so many times forever! It takes one moment to change your attitude and in that moment you can change your life.” ---Jackie G. |
