Catherine Ciaramitaro, Founder and President, was affected by the devastating effects of drug and alcohol abuse her entire life. At the age of 18, she became devoted to ministry and helping others. Eventually, she ended up pastoring and continually saw the negative impact of addiction in many of the families that came through the church, which increased her desire to build a place women could come to for safety and for recovery. Cathy began sharing with others the need for a women’s home. Soon, many others came alongside her and they began to strategize how this could happen. The vision became a reality when Windsor Life Centre was dedicated on September 16, 2012 and officially opened in April 2013.
