Our Founder’s Story and Our Why

A life etched with the shadows of addiction, Lisa Glenn’s world was a tapestry woven with threads of resilience and heartache. Her mother, Caretta, a phantom haunted by demons, fought a relentless battle against substance abuse before succumbing to cancer’s relentless grip. Raised by the steadfast arms of her grandmother, Lou, Lisa blossomed into a woman defined by compassion, her heart aching for the lost and vulnerable, a passion ignited by a calling to care for children.

Amidst the somber ritual of sifting through her mother’s earthly remnants, a serendipitous discovery ignited a flame within her soul. A modest box, marked with her name, held within it the seeds of a future she had yet to envision. Cutlery, utensils—ordinary objects imbued with extraordinary meaning. And then, the letter. A testament to a life lived in shadows, a mother’s confession of missed chapters, a love story whispered in the hush of unspoken words.

The box, it emerged, was a marriage chest, a symbol of hope and a mother’s unwavering faith. A tangible manifestation of prayers whispered across the chasm of distance, a promise of eternal love. In that moment, beneath the weight of grief and loss, Lisa found not despair, but a profound renewal. A testament to the enduring power of love, a catalyst for a journey of healing and purpose.
