A huge thank you to blogger, Lara Patangan, for featuring Rethreaded in her most recent blog post, “Pretty in Pink.” Lara had the opportunity to volunteer at Retheaded with her two sons exposing them to what she described to them as a place that “helps women who have had a hard life, maybe been on drugs, homeless or somehow hurt by other people.”
“The air was stifling hot in the warehouse and almost immediately little beads of sweat formed on my son’s nose. While it was uncomfortable being that hot, it seemed somehow cathartic to sweat alongside and in honor of women who have been degraded, and yet are brave enough to choose a different pattern for their lives.” (Exerpt from Mercy Me, I’ve got work to do!)

Lara is a wife and mother of two boys. When she turned 40 this past September she decided to spend the year doing “corporal and spiritual works of mercy and share her experiences on her blog”.
