The real estate agent and owner of Cactus Country Property Professionals grew up in Ontario as the only child of two alcoholic and negligent parents, who left her to fend for herself in life. The experience taught her hard-earned self-sufficiency, determined independence and a lifelong compassion for addicts and the children they wound. Because of her Nanny’s (Grandmother)ability to transmit non conditional love across the seas from England to her and being the only source of Love and kindness, Maureen knows first hand what a difference one person can make in a child’s life even from a distance.” Every time I think of her which is still daily or look at a picture of my own grandson that’s always on my desk, I know why there is ”The Love House Kids Program” and why it must thrive”.

After donating 25-30 hours a week, creating the Love House Program as a charity in her real estate business, putting on fund raisers and doing clothing drives and running a clothing bank for organizations that house neglected and abused kids, Maureen felt it was time to become their own non profit and use all these resources she has built up over the years to help others who may not be affiliated with these organizations, do more for the poorest of poor children along with continuing her work with these small organizations. We just feel that we can do more. All of the sponsors of the Love House program of Cactus Country Property Professionals have been so generous over the years and are so willing to expand their commitment with us and they too feel they can bring more people on board to help these little victims if it is us who is the keeper of the funds and goods and that it is The Love House Kids Program being accountable and overlooking the distribution of funds and goods to the children.
