About Us
My name is Petronela and I grow up without parents in foster care homes in Slovakia. I was victim of sexually abused, and others abused which cost me mentally problems also grow up without parents and no support was really hard for me ..in age 18 I ended up living on street as homeless,was addicted of drugs and living as prostitution,I didn't have no reason for live..my step grandma helped me to stand up on my feet and I could thanks her (God used her) finished art school and thru my life I could put my pain of rejections thru art, music, dance and she was the first person after 20 years of my life she told me, you can do better, so I started admit my problems thru therapies becouse was for me enough even one person believed that I can do better..also I accepted rehabs which was very positive change on my life.. More brokenness and disappointeds came to my life and I always used art, dance, music cope with my painful times which helped me with my healing process.
I learnt to be independent woman (Thanks to God) but I recieved so much help and support from, strange poeple,which I didn't forget and that I would like to do now for others who they suffer from DV,I would like to give back what I recieved thru my art club, hope, as everyone deserve another chance to stand up on their feets doesn't matter of their background. I know how hard it is to live without parents,but it's possible to live happily even without them by helping others in need,regardless of whether there is a family, and I believe that, HOPE, will be able to help everyone who needs it.
