Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus, and Michelle Knight, the three women held captive for a decade in a Cleveland home by Ariel Castro, have spoken publicly thanking God and all those who have extended a helping hand to them.
Amanda says, “I am getting stronger each day.”
Michelle declares, “I may have been through hell and back. But I am strong enough to walk through hell with a smile on my face, and with my head held high…I will not let the situation define who I am. I will define the situation…I don’t want to be consumed by hatred…We need to take a leap of faith and know that God is in control…”
Nothing more need be added.
Contributions to assist the women in rebuilding their lives can be made through the Cleveland Courage Fund at:
