Our Foundation
CSM Angels Refuge is dedicated to upholding the divine will on earth, guided by the spirit of the Lord. Our logo pays tribute to three influential women in my life, who I consider to be my guardian angels. The "C" represents my daughter Chanel, who bravely battled pediatric cancer and possessed remarkable wisdom at the young age of eleven. The "S" symbolizes my mother Sarah, a remarkable woman who successfully raised eight children without a formal education, relying on her unwavering faith, courage, and love. Her home was a refuge for many in the community, always open to serve those in need. Lastly, the "M" stands for Marguerite, my mother-in-law, a dedicated educator for 30 years in the Muscogee County School System. A known compassionate leader who served her students and community with faith and kindness. These women exemplify the values and mission of CSM Angels Refuge.
