24 Oct “Awakening” shares Magdalene Homes and Thistle Farms
Awakening, one of the people who visits us frequently, wrote us about Magdalene homes and Thistle Farms who have raised $13 million for group homes where prostitutes and women on drugs get help.
72% who complete the program are clean 2.5 years later. There’s a wait list of 80-100 people. They work by making scented products “Thistle Farms” from the plant that grows up in the streets through the concrete despite environmental forces against their growth. It symbolizes the human spirit that can shine through despite circumstances. Here’s the cool thing! “With hands that have known hardship, they now make candles that burn sweetly.”
