Pure Love
Adella Patton Marston was a woman of immense strength, compassion, and resilience. Born and raised in Belize, she married Alexander Theophilus Marston from Jamaica, and together they had six children: Wilberforce, Louise, Lucy, Catherine, Sonia, and Daniel. Despite facing the hardships of domestic violence herself, Adella chose love as her guiding principle in life.
Known to her family as Grandma Adella, she stepped in to raise her grandson Richard from just 14 days old, at the request of her son, Daniel. With an unwavering commitment to love and respect, Adella instilled in her grandson the values of kindness, acceptance, and dignity for all. Life with Grandma Adella was one of warmth, discipline, and love, even when she had to be strict. She led by example, teaching not just life lessons but also practical skills, like cooking the essentials of Caribbean cuisine—like rice and beans with stewed chicken and potato salad.
Even in the face of adversity, Adella never judged and always provided unconditional love and acceptance. When she moved to the U.S. to live with her daughter Lucy, Richard moved to live with his father at the age of 13. Still, Adella's influence remains a guiding force—a legacy of strength and care.
Adella's House is built on her spirit of compassion and resilience, recognizing the stark realities of domestic abuse. Nearly 20 people are physically abused by an intimate partner each minute in the U.S., which adds up to more than 10 million women and men experiencing domestic violence every year. Intimate partner violence accounts for 15% of all violent crimes, and on a typical day, domestic violence hotlines receive more than 20,000 phone calls nationwide. In her honor, the organization strives to offer hope, healing, and transformation, embodying the love and support she provided in her lifetime.
Heal The Broken
The mission of Adella's House is to empower individuals, with a primary focus on men, by offering life-changing support through mentorship, peer counseling, and group therapy. These services are designed to help men overcome personal challenges, navigate difficult situations, and build the skills needed to create positive change in their lives. By providing a safe and supportive environment, we encourage growth, healing, and resilience, ensuring that no one has to face their struggles alone.
In addition to supporting men, Adella's House is deeply committed to helping women rediscover their inner and outer beauty. We offer unique transformation experiences that help women rebuild their self-worth and confidence, often after overcoming trauma or hardship. Along with emotional support, we provide practical assistance in the form of housing and immigration help, offering a lifeline to those facing uncertain or unstable circumstances. Our goal is to uplift and empower women, allowing them to reclaim their lives and achieve their fullest potential.
Ultimately, Adella's House seeks to create lasting change for both men and women. We aim to not only guide individuals through their personal challenges but also to help them build stronger, more resilient communities. By addressing the root causes of hardship and providing comprehensive support, we are committed to fostering brighter futures where love, acceptance, and transformation are possible for all.
