Dianne, thanks for all the work you are doing to help our sisters. I applaud you for taking this project under your wing and flying with it.

I once attended a lucheon for The House Of Ruth, a shelter for battered women. The guest speaker, all donned in an executive outfit, looking like a professional woman, began speaking and I never imagined in my wildest dreams that she was the one who had been battered.

She proceeded to tell her story of how trapped she was by her husband. She addressed the guilt, shame, hostility, fear, frustrations, and anguish she experienced day in and day out.

She finally got the guts to call The House OF Ruth and they accepted her with open arms. Thsu began her recovery stage and she has come so far.

Her husband had stripped her of any confidenc or self esteem. Being in the compnay of women at the shelter, ahving to be spoon fed about her self worth, she finally came around.

I bless your ministry because if you save just one person from that torment, your life has stood for something! I'm sure you've saved many women!
