Families Forge New Lives at Bethany HillStairwayFuturetothe13spring 12Teetering on the brink of homelessness in 1994, PaulineFillman ’02 breathed a sigh of relief when a friend told herabout “the nuns on the hill.” Perhaps these religious women,who had just opened an affordable-housing community inFramingham, Massachusetts, were the answer to Pauline’sprayers. The tenacious single mother, struggling to make endsmeet as a part-time postal carrier, was determined to forge abetter life for her two sons. “We’d lost everything,” she saidabout the aftermath of a divorce. “We had nothing but eachother.” Pauline knocked on the doors of the Bethany HillSchool to plead her case and soon discovered a safe haven,an educational challenge, and lifelong friends in the Sisterswho would champion her future.By Patricia murray dibona ’84Photos by Kathleen Dooher
