Testimonials
The Franciscan Center helped me with many life skills
and now I can make a fresh start. -JW
Coming to the Center
was and possibly will be the biggest turning point in my life. I hated
life, people, and myself. After six months here, I grew up more, and learned
more than I did in 20 years. It wasn't easy but look where I am: alive,
healthy and not on the street. I graduated from high school and through my
problems went to college. I'm not the underdog anymore. I am favored to
succeed. With talking and working a program, I destroyed all negative
feelings and started over...I felt care, love, and the will to make it with
my stay. I didn't think anyone could put up with me; now I know who can. I
get along better with my mother and family now that I understand them.
Understanding myself is a big factor also in helping that to happen. My life
was turned upside down, straightened out, turned back upright, and finally
put back together...thank you...I'm free at last.
Love, gratefully, M.B.
Coming to the Center was the best thing for my life. i
wouldn't be where I am today. I'm in college and have a good job thanks to
everyone. -MB
The people at TFC are truly gifted. They helped me get
my GED. I have a job and I learned how to live a productive life. -JC
I never would have got the chance to go to college
without your help. -DC
... I sure do remember
you and all you did for me. You guys went to bat for me when no one else
cared. I'm working two jobs now and I'll be starting school in the Fall. I
have a two bedroom apartment and a '93 Grand Am... I credit you and your
"tough love" for many of the qualities in my character. I'm doing well now
and I thank your organization. If I could be on your mailing list, it would
be an honor. Thanks again! - JS |
The Franciscan Center -
A Poem
The Franciscan Center helped us in many ways,
They taught us things that we will remember in future days,
And if we work hard the job will pay,
And the payment of gratitude is always okay.
The Franciscan Center brought us off the streets,
The staff got us back on our feet,
They told us never to take defeat,
Because if you try hard you never be beat.
The Franciscan Center is a great place,
They'll take in anybody no matter their race,
Even if they have a very different case,
It doesn't matter as long as there's a smile on your face.
The Franciscan Center helped us all out,
And now we're succeeding without a doubt,
Because the staff taught us what life is all about,
So now we have no reason to even scream and shout.
Through it all The Franciscan Center is the best,
They gave us a place for our heads to rest,
And they gave us the time for money to invest,
And most of all they help us get stress off our chest.
Through my hard times The Franciscan Center was there for me,
Life was so blind before now I can see,
So I'm going to keep trying and be the person I've always wanted to be,
Because in the end The Franciscan Center was there for me.
