Pushing Through the Pain

Abigail's faith in God kept her always looking for something better. Believing that she had a purpose in life enabled her to succeed against all odds. Her spirit and passion for life fueled herself to find a way out, if she couldn't find one, she made one. Emerging from the steps of low income housing to the boardroom as CEO. Her humble beginnings strengthen her and, in tribute to her tough upbringing, she founded The Abigail Santangelo Foundation whose mission is to help those struggling in the community, because she believes, "Everyone deserves a chance to prove money doesn't make you happy." Abigail shares her story in letters to herself, reminding her of the tough times, and how it is from those trials and tribulations that she became the woman the community looks up to. She wants people to be the victor and not the victim. Know that God makes all things possible, not easy, but possible. It's up to us to choose our role in our challenge. Are we going to stay in the ashes after being burned or are we going to emerge from the fire hard as steel? Abigail believes once you begin to push through the pain you will see the real breakthroughs in life.
