I didn't want there to be anything institutional about it. It's a home and that's what I want it to look like and feel like.

It's only because of caring people that we're able to do what we do in Loris.

All I had to do was open my heart and say, 'Show me, God,' and it's always been that way for me.

In six week's time, I went from not knowing what God wanted me to do, to going to a women's shelter in Florida for training.

We license the home, not the whole neighborhood.

My family members are here with me because they're afraid to stay at home. There is no excuse for it. This is just uncalled for. It goes beyond courtesy. It's protection of life.
