Filling Hearts With Hope

Regina and her children—16-year-old Rennan, 11-year-old Marina, and baby Samuel—escaped an abusive relationship in another state, returning to California with only their clothes. Feeling alone and afraid, Regina commutes to Daly City for a part-time job and cleans houses on the side, striving to provide a stable home for her children.

Our second team took off for the apartment of Regina and her 16-year-old son Rennan, 11-year-old daughter Marina and adorable baby Samuel. Regina and her children also fled an abusive relationship in another state, returning to California with only their clothes and a few items. Regina said she felt alone and afraid. She wondered when she would be able to give a decent home to her children again. She commutes to Daly City for a part-time job and cleans houses on the side. The family’s faces were filled with joy when they saw their home transformed.
“My apartment is now a real home! It comforted the hearts of my children and filled my heart with hope. Everything was done with much love and affection in small details that will mark my life and my children forever.” – Regina
