From the Corner Office
A Message from the Executive Director

“For everyone of us that succeeds, it's because there's somebody there to show you the way out.”
Oprah Winfrey

As we all know, Oprah Winfrey makes it very clear how she feels about children, education and the betterment of people. She has spent a lot of her time seeking ways she can help an audience of people around the world change for the better. She has the debt diet, live your best life, she evens goes to give decorating tips so your home can be peaceful. The school in Africa goes without saying! My point is she is giving her life to help people. “To whom much is given, much is required”. I think she understands that.

March 17, 2007, Life Haven turned 15. As I read the history of Life Haven, there were many struggles to get Life Haven started. There were people who believed, had doubt, didn’t want it, and people who thought there was no need. Today more than 33,000 people are homeless in CT and 13,000 of them are children. There was always a need and we are very grateful to those who believed.

Life Haven is excited to have been here 15 years to do it’s small part in this state. Giving hope, helping families stay together, providing excellent childcare, helping women succeed, because we are showing them the way out.

Whether you like or dislike Oprah, she has the right idea, use what you have to help someone else.
