Woman overcomes obstacles, helps others through Franciscan Peacemakers
Published July 24, 2023, 8:40 p.m. by Naomi Charles
Cynthia Perkins is an overcomer working to help women see their value and worth through the Franciscan Peacemakers. When asked why she does it, Perkins' response - simple.
"Because It was done for me, many years ago. I myself was one of those women," said Perkins.
Not the woman she expected to become after falling for a man who had other intentions. It would take the showing up of outreach workers like deacon Steve Przedpelski, to convince Perkins there was more to life than the streets. It would take 14 years before she finally left the streets and began the journey of healing.
