Hello my name is Linda Patterson and I have a story to tell… 12 years ago, I was afraid to go to the market alone.  I was full of fear about everything and everybody.  I was a victim of circumstances and lost in domestic violence and various addictions.  I could not see any way out and I believed that life would never change.  However, with the help of God and various mentors, I was able to break loose from my “prison” and begin to live life anew.  I learned to take full responsibility for my choices and actions.  I was guided to a new way of living and my mentors believed in me and helped me achieve various goals.
