Part 4/11:
Miss Pat’s dedication to her family is extraordinary. She took in her niece and their children after her sister fell into drug addiction, raising them in her large Indianapolis home. Despite being abandoned by her niece, she continued to give these children love and stability, often at the expense of her own personal dreams.
Her children’s achievements—graduating high school, attending college—are testaments to her sacrifices and determination. She’s proud to have broken the cycle of hardship, providing a foundation her children could build upon. Her motto remains: it’s not how you start, but how you finish.
