“All I can say is that BCOH was the one and only reason other than my own hard work that during these hard times I was successful in recovering from rock-bottom homelessness coming from some very traumatic events in me and my children’s life to having a home and full time job and loving stable family life.”

“I can’t think of a more important contribution that I could make than my contribution to San Mar. It gives me a great feeling to know that I am helping the children and families in our community who really need it. And I’m so proud of you all for having the foresight and courage to move in a new direction to make a difference. My giving will continue, and I wish it could be more.”

“You were the only one that knew I could take care of my kids. Actually, you have been the only person who can see what I am able to do. Not very many people give me the opportunity to show them what I can do and how much I understand.”

“My emotional walls are also coming down. I used to think that it was the world against me. In reality it was myself against my thoughts. Slowly I have been more present with my thoughts and letting go of the heaviness that holds me back. San Mar has a very special place in my heart.”

“The staff at San Mar have made a difference in the lives of so many children. They have also taken the time to help us through the process of getting licensed to provide care and we have been blessed with a young lady who truly brightens our home and brings us so much joy!”
