“I am thankful for the Prince that I was blessed with about five years ago, having the opportunity to be in foster care & having a huge stepping stone to becoming a successful single mother & being able to accomplish as much as I have through the years. Meeting such wonderful positive people along the way & having a God that always came through 24/7.” – Catherine K
“I am thankful for my family whose worlds of wisdom and love keep me grounded. I am thankful for my friends whose loyalty and honesty keep me balanced. I am thankful that despite it all, my house is filled with joy. I am thankful that I’M STILL HERE! I can smile, laugh and be kept in God’s perfect peace.” – Holly
“I am thankful for the life Jesus gave me and for the blessing I was given to create life. My daughter Charnee is what I am most thankful for. Her compassion,her drive and determination, her insight, and the way she takes all of her talents and gifts to create excellence astounds me. I am thankful for my family and the way time and God ‘s grace has healed all wounds. I am thankful for the opportunity to tell my story and to speak on behalf of those who currently do not have the voice or platform to speak up for themselves. I m thankful for my friends who have always believed in me and also given me tough love when I needed it. I m thankful to be dating someone kind and gentle. I’m thankful to have met all of you [Crittenton staff, former/current Crittenton program participants]… I could go on and on these are just a few things I’m thankful for. I love you all.” – Charese
“I am thankful for my family, friends and life. I am surrounded by some of the most caring loving souls in the universe who lift me up on a daily basis and feel very blessed. I’m thankful for the little things; the little winks you get from God that remind you he’s there. I’m thankful and grateful to be a part of this crazy, beautiful world! Love you!!! – Dani
“I am thankful for my teddy bear of a husband, my fabulous family and friends, and the strong, empowering young women and women I have met in the last three years. All of you have made an impact on how I live my life to the fullest.” – Jessie
“I am thankful for all the life experiences I have lived through and for the lessons in each and every single one of them- good and bad. I am thankful for my wonderful support system who encourages me to bring out my best (that’s you guys!). But most importantly I am thankful for my children. Without my munchkins I would have never learned the meaning of limitless love.” – Lisette
