Program Coordinator

"Hi my name is Lillian (Lilly) Gonzalez, I was born in Puerto Rico but raised in New York. I tried drugs at the age of 14 and had my first child at 16. At 18, I left New York to live with a friend in North Carolina and began to turn my life around. I had my second child at 21. Life was challenging until I returned to New York. Later, I moved to Puerto Rico with my mother, where I met my husband, a military member. We became Christians and raised our four children in the church. With a passion for working with teenagers, I've dedicated myself to helping young people. After 25 years of marriage, my husband and I divorced. Now, I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to support at-risk teens and help them avoid prison. I'm also proud that my son is involved in similar efforts. I'm believing God will do great things through this ministry. God bless."
