Fr. Samuel Monaco

I am honored to be a part of Rene's "dream team" in support of her initiative to draw greater awareness and provide sustenance to all individuals and families impacted by the reality of a suffered stroke or aphasia. Rene and her Language of Love Foundation has for many years raised this awareness through live streaming efforts as well as an annual successful telethon. She and her team of "stroke of luck" angels has raised the bar and inspired many with their generous spirit, deep compassion and of course their deep rooted faith. Rene also is forthcoming by announcing herself as a stroke and aphasia survivor who unselfishly imparts to other survivors the stories of her journey, struggles and achievements by paying forward in gratitude the similarities of the attentiveness she received as a stroke victim. I am humbled to be just a small part of this extraordinary endeavor and ministry. May God bless Rene and the Language of Love Foundation.
