Lifetree Cafe: "Redeemed: A Real-Life Cinderella Story"

Real-life examples of hope growing out of hopelessness will be explored at Lifetree Café on 611 Clark Ave, Thursday @ 7-8 PM.

The program, titled “Redeemed: A Real-Life Cinderella Story,” features interviews with destitute Filipino children whose lives changed dramatically after the children were accepted into a ballet school.

“These are not only human beings who want bread, clothes, and a roof over their head,” says Father Rocky Evangelista, a priest who was instrumental in connecting the children with ballet. “These are children who want to change the world.”

During the program, participants will have the opportunity to share stories about times they’ve seen difficult situations redeemed.
