Meet Our Director
Pam De Santiago
Director
I am a wife to Humberto and mom to Elaina and Nicholas. I was born and raised in the Buckeye State but have been in Texas for 22 years with 17 of them spent in The Colony. I have always had a heart for those in need and worked in vocational ministry for the last 10 years.
Most recently, I spent 8 years in the non-profit sector handling addiction recovery and local crisis situations. As a licensed Peer Recovery Specialist, I gained experience in these areas to quickly assess a situation and help determine and treat “root cause” issues.
I have created a network of people and places that provide resources. At the same time, I have met so many people who are in need of help, some great, some small. God has placed it on my heart to take on the task of bringing help to those who need it the most. I cannot wait to see what He will do in our neighborhoods when we all combine forces to bring help to those in need!
