Friends whose hearts are united by our love for God. Our friendships span more than 25 years, with some of us meeting at a cutting table in a fabric store in 2012.

Together, we spend much of our free time planning, organizing, and using every resource and skill we have to show compassion to abused and neglected children.

"A friend loves at all times, and a sister is born for adversity." — Proverbs 17:17
