“First, I was delivered into the hands of the devil and he lived at Madonna Manor. At nine years old I was abused mentally, sexually, and physically by numerous staff members who were employed by Hope Haven/Madonna Manor. I specifically remember Brother Harold, and a staff member named Tony. I remember being threatened by them, and Tony said he would kill me and then go rape my little brother if I didn’t agree to oral and anal sex with him. I’ve had a rough life that many would not understand, and nightmares that still haunt me from what happened to me. I want the Archdiocese of New Orleans to admit what happened to me and others at Madonna Manor, and the only way I can see that happening is to have all of the documents of abuse released.”
