M.S. ROBERTS-DROGN: And I’m
Victoria Roberts-Drogin. Thank you for
joining us today.
Vincent, this past season has been
just inspirational. It’s been so full of
stories that are heartwarming, and
honestly, just have changed my life just
from being part of it.
- RUSSO: WOW.
- ROBERTS-DROGIN: Ye S.
- RUSSO: And I’m feeling the
same way. So much so, that we wanted to
share the families and the resources as a
Best Of Season 7.”
MS, ROBERTS-DROGIN: SO noW, We are
going to look back at the moments that
moved us the most over this season, right
here on Family Comes First.

6 husband Scott and I, we got married in
7 September of 2012 and five months later
8 he was deploying to Afghanistan. So we
9 had just moved into a new house, and I
1 O didn’t really have a lot of Community
ill around me.
12 YOu have Choices. You Can be at 13 home and be lonely, or think, ‘Oh, my
14 husband is gone. What am I going to do?”
15 Or, you get up and do something. And I
16 was already sending him cards and Care
17 packages, and I thought maybe the other
18 guys and females in Our unit might enjoy
19 cards as well, So I just put up a note On
2O my Facebook page and six weeks later we
21 had about 17, 000 Cards.

quit? Did they actually deliver 17, 000?
- GORDON-SPENCER: They came in
spurt-S .
We were emailing each other,
because it’s an eight-hour time
difference. And I asked him how many
people were on Kandahar Airfield, which
is where he was stationed and he said, ‘I
can’t tell you, but a lot. ” I said,
Well, I’m going to send you 17, 000
Cards.” And he said, ‘What?” So, we
packed them up in boxes of 300 and got
them over there right in time for
Christmas.
So, we were able to incorporate
both cards and care package items because
once people found Out we were Sending
cards, people would also ask if they
could send service items, and I said yes,
Of COur Se.
- ROBERTS-DROGIN: Why not?

started dropping those at my house.

because it’s miniature.
When they go to individuals, it
doesn’t just go to an individual. It may
get mailed to an individual, but you
know, people Come. Other people and
their unit COme Over and they get to
share all this Stuff, so it’s a sense of
Creating your Own Small Community.
Wherever you are, whether you’re
in-country or Overseas, it’s a tremendous
feeling of allowing an individual to be a
part of their own community with handing
these things Out, so it was pretty

- DUFF: Okay. Again, Catholic
Charities offers a wide variety of
services for Children, adults, Seniors,
but our veterans program is one of our

newest programs.
We started it about ten years ago
when the episodes of homelessness were
becoming so apparent, so we created a
program to provide housing for the
homeless veteran, and in that we also
Created housing for families because we
saw a two-tier problem.
One, of course, is the chronically
homeless veteran, who is living in the
Woods, et Cetera; and then we also saw the
families that were living in shelters
because there was no place for them to
live.
So, Catholic Charities was able to
establish some homes where we’ve been
able to put families in and again, the
families do the hard work. For us, it’s
a privilege to do it, because they
deserve a place to live.
- RUSSO: And how long were you
away?

half years.

workplace? How was that for you? Was it
difficult?
- GAUSE: Well, in the
beginning it was, because they told me I
can get my job back when I came back
home, but then when I got back it wasn’t
there. It was no longer Open, but
eventually, they did give it back.
- ROBERTS-DROGIN: Okay. So, you
were able to go back to doing what you
were doing before.
MS : GAUSE : YeS.
- RUSSO: I would think that’s an
area where it, taking skills that you
have in the military and then coming back
and trying to reconnect with the job that
you might have had before you left, it
could be difficult.
- PENNA : But then September 11th
happened, and my Sister was already in
the army, and the field I was in, being a
broker, wasn’t obviously what it used to
be after September 11th, so I decided to
join the army and serve my country and
travel the World and that’s what I had

chosen to do, and I loved it.
MR . AMAT FITANO : We provide
employment opportunities for veterans.
We provide housing for veterans and their
families. We have a Vets Bill Program
that we’re partnered with. We’re
partnered with a lot of agencies. The
Vets Bill Program, we’re partnered with
United Way of Long Island, which that’s a
great program, because it’s free to the
veterans, and it’s men and women and it’s
an insulation; Weatherization program
which could lead to a higher education, a
lot of jobs in the solar industry.
Training, we provide a lot Of
training; also, in partnership with the
VA and with the Department of Labor.
- ROBERTS-DROGIN: Frank, I
imagine you and Gustina have slightly
different perspectives on this, but what
would each of you say is the most
powerful difference that women face,
transitioning back after service?
- AMALFITANO: Well, most women,
they have a lot more challenges than the
Page 11
1 male veterans, and particularly a single
2 mom. A veteran woman that has children,
s
3 that’s a tremendous challenge.
- And then also, a woman veteran
5 that’s experienced war. I could tell you
6 this firsthand, there’s a lot of issues,
7 but being in a Combat Scenario, you carry
8 that with you for the rest of your life.
9 MS. ROBERTS – DROGIN : Gustina i T
1 O know you had spoken a little bit to us
11 about that, coming home and not even
12 realizing that you had post traumatic – –
13 3
14 MS. PIENNA: PTSD.
15 MS. ROBERTS – DROGIN : YeS.
16 MS. PENNA: I know When I first
17 came home, there weren’t as many programs
18 as there are now. So, coming to terms
19 with it, it was difficult and it took a
2O while, but by the grace of God I did come
21 to terms with it and found my way to the
22 VA and it made me stronger and start the
23 healing process, so I could be a mother
24 to my son .
25 MS. HEINSOHN: Linda was asking for
Page 12
1 a long time to become a Girl Scout.
2 MR. RUSSO: Oh, great.
3 MS. HEINSOHN: And I investigated,
4 and although any girl can join any troop,
5 it really wasn’t appropriate for her, SO
6 I thought I would start my own, and I
7 just gear it towards the girls and their
8 abilities.
9 MR. RUSSO: Wow, that’s fantastic.
1 O MS. ROBERTS-DROGIN: How big is the
l troop?
12 MS. HEINSOHN: I only have four
* 1.3 girls, but they’re very, very active.
14 MS. ROBERTS-DROGIN: It makes it
15 very special; there’s a lot of attention.

- RUSSO: Welcome back to Family

This season, we had three shows
that really, the message to us was a
Community of Caring.
- ROBERTS – DIRIOGIN : I think
people who went out of their way to
Create Communities for others that were
safe and loving and no matter what it
cost to them to do it?
- RUSSO: Right.
- ROBERTS-DROGIN: You know? We
had the issue of, how do you take care of
your parents? We had students from St.
John’s who went to Peru.
- RUSSO: That’s right.
- ROBERTS-DROGIN: TO Care for
those kids who really had no one, and
then we had Hedy and Eric and Joanne Page
who gave back in the prison systems based

7 MR. DILILTO: Her situation now is
8 people have asked me, did you ever think
9 of putting her in an institution. And I
1 O say, listen – – – I say, it’s not about
11 putting her in an institution. I Say,
12 she is comfortable at home. She’s not
13 comfortable going into something like
14 that at this time.
15 It could come to a point when she’s
16 older, I still wouldn’t put her in an
17 institution. I would have somebody come
18 to the house to take Care of her, but at
19 this moment she’s not going to be
2O tolerant of that right now, and it would
21 just be too overwhelming for her.
22 MS. ROBERTS-DROGIN: So, this is a
23 situation where you really – – – there ‘ S
24 a clear answer in your mind; you want to
25 keep her at home.

felt that always.
- ROBERTS-DROGIN: And you’ve
been doing it.
- DILILLO: Yes. And We’ve been
doing it. I feel that Grace every day.
- RUSSO: So, as you are taking

family members taking care of their
parents at home.
So, Chris, you’ve got your mother

to me, actually. We got along very well.
- ROBERTS-DROGIN: That’s

- C. CARDINAL: It was a very hard
transition for us when she decided to Stay.
It was her decision to stay.
- RUSSO: And she decided; which
is so interesting, right?
- C. CARDINAL: Uh-huh.
- RUSSO: And, why?
- C. CARDINAL: I think part of
it was that she could not get out as She
used to before. She used to have a
scooter. She used to go around the
neighborhood. She couldn’t do that as
much anymore. She couldn’t get up and
down the Stairs without assistance;
different things.
- RUSSO; SO Social Work becomes
really important in that regard.
So, Danielle, you do that stuff,
don’t you?
- ROBERTS-DROGIN: What’s your
favorite part of what you do for the
patients?

- RANK: Just being able to meet
them and kind of hear their background and
their stories and where they came from.
And like you said, it’s very uncommon for
the patients themselves to say that they
want to stay long-term, but some actually
do and trying to help with that transition
and having the family understand that maybe
this is what is in the best interest for
their families.
MR, RUSSO: Ye S.
- ROBERTS – DIROGIN : So, that S
interesting. Sometimes you sense it and
the patients sense it.
- RANK: Yes. I’ve had patients
tell their families that they would like to
Stay.
- ROBERTS-DROGIN: That must be
hard for the families.
- RANK: Yes. So, we give them
support in that way to help them kind of
understand where their parent or their
loved one is coming from.
- COSTA: The presence of our
students to the children there, they have

playmates for a week. And they have kids
that are very close to their age, some of
them that bring a lot of enthusiasm and a
lot of energy to the house. They’ll take
them to the park and for some of the kids
that aren’t mobile, they’ll go up to
their rooms, and some of the kids are
really confined to a bed, and they’ll go
upstairs and play with them. So, that’s
probably the biggest thing.
On a very practical level, they
will take the kids into Lima for doctors’
appointments; SOmetimes for hospital
Visits, therapy Visits. And that S a
very bonding experience, too, because
you’re really with them for maybe five
hours On a bus.
- RUSSO: Right.
- ROBERTS – DIRIOGINI: And a
tremendous, I would imagine, Sense of
accomplishment for your kids to feel like
they’ve done this. You know, that’s a
big thing.
- COSTA: Overcoming a lot of
fear, absolutely.

this?” They come back, I think,
realizing that they’re capable of a love
that is extraordinary, really.
- RUSSO: Also, I think they get
a sense of appreciation for what they
have.
- COSTA: Yes, tremendous.
- RUSSO: When they go and help
someone in need and especially those with
health Care issues and Special needs.
- COSTA: There’s a great, and
you’ve seen this, too, there’s a great
joy in that house now.
Now, part of it is because of the
atmosphere that the founder and the
doctor that runs it , Anthony Tua Zarra, has
brought to it. There’s a great – – –
- RUSSO: Yes, tell us about him.
- COSTA: Sure. So, he started
this about twenty-five years ago, and he
had gone to Calcutta. On a vacation and
saw the poverty and said, I Can’t
continue to do this. So, he was teaching

at Emory University and had a great job and
but he said, I needed to do something
el Se. SO, he beCame a Third Order
Franciscan and went down to Peru and
started this home and really has
dedicated his life and has been there.
He comes home twice a year, but
always considers home being Tampa where
his family is, but he considers Peru his
home. He’s given children an atmosphere
of safety and an atmosphere of family.
Now, some do have families, and
their parents come and visit them.
Others don’t have families, so he’s given
them that sense of family.
- KETCHAM : YeS . SOme Of the
children were brought there by their
families, from the mountains of Peru and
bringing the child there with some sort
of real medical needs. They bring the
child there, but maybe are so overwhelmed
by the thought of having to care for the
child themselves, leave the child there.
Like they sometimes leave the child there
at the Hogar. So some of the children

are, in a sense, abandoned there. Not all
of them, but Some are.
Like, we’ll hear about the parents
who bring a child and then we don’t hear
from the parents again for a couple of
years, and the question is, Will they
ever show up again, or will they even
ask, how is my child doing? So that’s
going On in the house, as Well, too.
So, Dr. Tony becomes like a father
figure in this home, and even the nurses
who work there with him and the Cooks and
those people who are there, the teacher
there, the physical therapist, he has
twenty-three, full-time employees who are
paid staff who help him as well, too.
They come in and out throughout the
week. They’re never there all at one time,
but they’re either driving or like I said,
serving in the Hogar itself. So, he has
help there, but he becomes like a father
figure to them as well.
- COSTA: When you come home
it’s a very hard thing to talk about.
- DANCA SMITH: It really is.

- COSTA: It’s really hard to
describe what it is. And I think part of
the revelation that the Students have,
hopefully, will be, I kind of met Christ
down there in a way that I just didn’t
think would ever happen.
- DANCA SMITH: Right, and how do
you verbalize that? I can’t verbalize
that at forty. How do you verbalize that
at fifteen, Sixteen-years old.
- ROBERTS-DROGIN: Right.
- DANCA SMITH: But, I know when
I came home last year, people said, How
was it? And I would just stare at them
and say, I don’t know what to say.
And the second time around – – –
- RUSSO: Where do you start?
- DANCA. SMITH: Ye S. SO I Can’t
imagine a teenager being able to
verbalize such an experience.
- ROBERTS-DROGIN: Life-changing.
- DANCA SMITH: The rest of their
lives, they’re going to be remembering what
they did.

so amazing, Father Rob Ketcham said, when he
brought the young people back from the
experience in Peru back to the United
States, where the culture of life is,
it’s not really part of the American
Culture.
We judge life and evaluate life
based on usefulness, rather than See the
dignity of every Single human being, and
here, these young people could see that the
sanctity of life really is there because
people who face challenges where the World
might say, well that life isn’t WOrthwhile,
that life isn’t valuable, here these young
people saw that people with Challenges and
disadvantages in life would face that with
hope, with joy, and young people now Can
see that a value of a life is based not on
what we’re able to produce or do but just
Our very being, able to experience and meet
the challenges with hope. And, indeed, I
think that’s what Family Comes First is all
about; seeing people with Challenges and
facing those challenges with hope.
- RUSSO: And, we are going to
Page 29

- update their story, which has been so
2 fantastic; when we did this show, six
3 years ago. I can’t imagine it was that
4 long ago.
5 And so, I want to welcome, Hedy and
6 Eric, On the show, and their daughter
7 UOanne .
8 We are so anxious to know what
9 you’ve been up to, because you’re all
1 O about doing good. You’re never about
11 yourselves. You’re always about doing
12 gOOd.
13 SO Wel COme.
14 MS. ROBERTS – DIRIOGIN : Wel COme.
15 We’re so excited to have you here.
16 MR. RUSSO: Ye S. YeS.
17 MS. PAGE: I’m embarrassed, because
18 if we would think we’re doing good, maybe
19 we’d be afraid to do it, because we
2O failed.
21 MR. RUSSO : NO.
22 MS. PAGE: But what we’ve been
23 doing, and this really goes back to many,
24 many years ago, over fifty years ago when
25 we started to work in the prison system,

and then when Joanne was in high school and
we were working at Sing Sing, she became
fascinated by the whole thing, and now
she employs us without pay.
M.S. ROBERTS-DROGIN: YOU’ re a
bargain.
- RUSSO: So, you’re doing
volunteer WOrk.
MS … PAGEE : YeS .
- RUSSO: As Counselors?
MS … PAGE : YeS .
- ROBERTS-DROGIN: And together,
right? Both of you do it together.
- RUSSO: Both of you, both.
I ask this question respectfully,
because you were in a Concentration Camp.
How hard was it for you to go into a
prison as a volunteer?
- PAGE: Not horrible at all,
because when I was in a concentration
camp, or when I was locked up, nobody
cared. So, I figured, at least we do
something for SOme people who are in
prison. And that was the reason, because
nobody cared about me, that doesn’t mean

that I don’t care about others.
And that was the main reason
really.
JOANNE PAGE: What was amazing was
that the man we were working with
recognized that he had a past that
matched their past, and they would turn
to him for feedback on how he built a
family, and how he got through the rage.
And so there’s a role my dad plays
that none of us play, because he’s lived
through the kind of pain and rage that
people in prison are living in.

- RUSSO: Victoria, those shows
were so wonderful and we speak of a
community of caring. What did you get Out
Of it?
- ROBERTS – DROGIN : YeS , It’ S 11Ot
only the people who created it, but it’s
the people who benefited from it. And you
know, when I think about Nick’s mom – – –
- RUSSO: Sure, oh my goodness.
The love he has.
Page 33
1 MS. ROBERTS-DROGIN: Right, and her
2 life is what it is because he is taking
3 care of her, and not only – – – yes.
- MR. RUSSO: Chris taking care of her
5 mother-in-law.
6 MS. ROBERTS-DROGIN: And many.
7 MR. RUSSO: In the same nursing home
8 that she WOrkS. 9 MS. ROBERTS-DROGIN: Right. Yes. S
1 O MR. RUSSO: And so different ways of
11 caring. One is not better than the other.
12 Both done Out of love.
- ROBERTS – DIROGINI: And the
14 recipients of that, when you think of the
15 people who are going to come out of the
16 systems that the Pages work in, and they’re
17 going to have the opportunity to create a
18 life that they would not have had, but for
19 the learning and the Counseling.
2O MR. RUSSO: All about giving; Hedy,
21 Eric, their daughter Joanne. I know their
22 son Kenny. They live their lives with the
23 mindset what can I do now for someone
24 else?”

- RUSSO: And so, we go all the
way to Peru. And we go into a village, a
town, and family is created for those
children who don’t have housing, don’t have
health Caire .
- ROBERTS – DIRIOGIN : Education.
- RUSSO: And don’t have
education.
- ROBERTS-DROGIN: It’s inspiring.
- RUSSO: We were lucky and
privileged to have these families and these
organizations involved.
- ROBERTS-DROGIN: And the ability
to talk with the people who were a part of
the season. Very fortunate.
We’re going to take a very quick
break, and we’ll be right back with more

- RUSSO: Looking back, Victoria,
it makes me feel so blessed to have been
able to tell these stories with you.
- ROBERTS-DROGIN: I feel
fortunate too. I’ve often said this is my
favorite thing that I do is this project,
this series, being able to meet such
incredible people who change the World with
small, but determined actions.
- RUSSO: Right. Ordinary people
doing extraordinary thing S. Right?
- ROBERTS-DROGIN: Right. Well,
you know Hedy said, if you call it good,
then it’s not good. You just have to do it
and it makes me inspired to think about
what I Could do.
- RUSSO: That’s wonderful. And
hopefully our viewers.
MS ROBERTS-DROGIN: YeS .
- RUSSO: I think they’re going to
feel the same way, and think about all that
they have and how they can help others who
don’t have what they have and make a
difference.

communities, how to create families, do
good and to give back.

value system from one generation to the

thing was having Father Tony with us to
share with us.

him to be live with us?
