"The biggest thing the Farm brought me was happiness. I was very hidden before. Now I'm more
outgoing than I knew. I now have a choice of whom I want to be versus just following the crowd. The Farm helps people,
and I think, when you leave here, you want to help people and do good. Not a day goes by that I don't tell someone
about the Farm or see a child who I wish could be there and get the help that I did."

"If I could use one word to describe Happy Hill Farm, it would be a 'home.' Happy Hill Farm is a
home to me -- not just now, but forever. Happy Hill Farm helped me with my career and my college. They were always there
for me. They never gave up. And I'm not going to let them down, because they never let me down."

"It gives me great joy to know the things I've been through in life are going to help people.
I've spoken to girls in children's homes and abused women in other countries, and have been able to inspire them. I am
overwhelmed with thankfulness that the Shipmans have dedicated their lives to helping children and changing lives, because
they've changed mine."
