About Me

Hi I am Dorothy Day and I am here to help out the poor and misfortunate. If I was alive today I would be 108 years old. I have one daughter and her name is Tamar and she means the world to me. If it wasn't for God and what he has told me to do I wouldn't be here helping out the poor. My education goes up to a couple years in college before i dropped out to pursue my career helping out the poor and less fortunate. Peter and I founded the Catholic Worker Movement and we opened houses of hospitality for the poor throught the country. By doing this i hoped that people will notice the poor and would want to help them out. This did changed peoples views on life and the poor and from then on more and more shelters have been built and the poor aren't having the same troubles as they once did. I did have a failed marriage and an abortion but I don't think that defines who I am and what I have accomplished.

My Interests

Helping the poor, Taking care of my daughter Tamar, Living life peacefully and happily, Praying, Talking/Listening to God.

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet every person that was not willing to help out the poor and less fortunate. They should be ashamed of themselves and i need to talk to each and everyone of them and explain to them the reasons why they should help out people that don't have the luxuries that they do. I would also like to meet Martin Luther King Jr becuase he is a man that is a great leader and had a movement that was so big and changed a lot of peoples views on life. I hope that i did much of the same as him.

Anne Marie House

A couple weeks ago I visited the Anne Marie House and I had mixed feelings about the place before visiting.  Now that I have been there and seen all that goes on the inside of the house.  ...
