Our Stories

The stories of our clients and families are poignant and moving.  They reflect incredible challenges and obstacles that these women and girls have overcome ranging from trauma, neglect, and addiction, to sexual abuse. Various milestones they have achieved are taken for granted by many, and yet have been transformational for many of the women and girls in having the chance to start anew.

We honor these clients as we share their stories, and we are glad that we can be a part of their journey to a better tomorrow.
