Testimonials

Veronica is the "fashion queen" of Casa Angelica and can happily spend an hour looking at celebrity fashion magazines; Though she doesn't complain, I know that Veronica has not had an easy life. She faces great physical discomfort every day and is unable to communicate succinctly what's bothering her. She has lost people she deeply cared about and on whom she depended. Veronica has this type of prodigious insight and I hope always to live the lessons she has taught me. In turn, I hope that she embraces my steadfast belief that she is capable of anything she wishes and has great gifts to share. I look forward to a lifetime of friendship with Veronica.

I'm so honored to be able to say that Ronnie is my friend, he is one of the greatest people you will ever meet. Ronnie is a great role model to all that meets him. He has been through a lot in his life, and no matter what life throws at him he is always happy. He is always forgiving, loving, and a great friend to all. I think the biggest thing that he has taught me is to always smile even through the tears. When I'm having a bad day or feeling sad about something, all I have to do is talk to Ronnie and when smiles at me, I'm suddenly happy again. All of the young people at Casa Angelica have taught me something about life. They are all so special, and I'm so thankful that I have them all in my life!

One day, Shawn and I were in the room together, and he was supposed to be my special helper. After the job was done, one of the staff members told Shawn to say "Thank you Mickey," I knew that Shawn could talk a little but to hear him say those words, "Thank you Mickey" was the coolest thing in the world. I mean the hair on the back of my neck stood up and a chill just ran right through me. It's not every day that one of our special children at Casa Angelica can say thank you for anything we do for them, so when it happens you must treasure it.

It was Patrick's birthday and I told him that I would sing to him, "Stranger's in the Night" And I did and he loved it. It was so cute! I love cooking and spoiling them with their favorite snacks.
