Phyllis Cantu was a rheumatic fever patient here when she was in 8th grade and loved being with the other kids and her parents’ visits every night. Visiting hours on the weekends were 30 minutes in the afternoon and 30 minutes in the evening, so they came twice on Saturdays and Sundays. Phyllis was on the “harbor side” of the building and would wave out the windows to her siblings or friends when they came to visit. Her cousin Kathleen even asked her to be in her wedding from down below the window! A generous supporter of La Rabida still today, Phyliss says that “(La Rabida) got me well and I never forgot that. My Mom gave whatever she could and now I'm in a position where I'm grateful to give back so they can help others.” Thank you Phyllis!
