We want to use these posts to connect with our supporters, encourage our donors and engage in a conversation with everyone who has a heart for abused and battered women. We hope you’ll think about this as a conversation between friends. As the Executive Director, you’ll hear from me about how my heart beats for the homeless women and their children in our area. I hope to inspire you with how you can change lives through your support, your gifts and your prayers. But my thoughts aren’t the only ones you’ll read on our blog. You’ll hear from Carla McRee, our Associate Director, to get her wisdom and important perspective on the important issues facing homeless and abused women both here in California and also in Costa Rica. And Jennifer Harp, our Director of Marketing, will also join in on the conversation sharing, among other things, about news from our community and the efforts of our amazing volunteers. Your voice is the most important one. We want to hear from you. We need you to join in and make this a conversation. Ask questions. Make comments. Encourage. Suggest. Challenge. Participate. We are thankful for your support and participation. In Jesus’ Name, Steve McRee Executive Director Shepherd’s Gate
