  Director

  Currently serving as a Board Member for the Mary & Martha House; in Ruskin, FL. Mary & Martha House cares for battered and homeless women and children of all ages. Rather than focusing on women who are chronically homeless, Mary & Martha House strives to reach the growing number of women who are recently homeless or in danger of becoming homeless. These women need a safe environment and support services that will help them develop or re-establish personal and economic resources. We help women like Rosemarie, a farm worker who turned to Mary and Martha House to escape domestic abuse. And Eleanor, a senior citizen who lost her home when her late husband’s medical care drained their savings. The women and children we help once thought they had nowhere to turn. Today they are living independent, fulfilling lives. Show less
