Story
A brave 17-year-old girl from Teller County is reaching out for support after escaping a deeply unstable and unsafe home. After enduring years of hardship, neglect, and instability, often caring for others instead of being cared for herself she made the courageous decision to leave everything behind in search of safety and hope. With nothing but a small bag of clothing, she walked miles to reach a safe place her brother helped her find. She's now in a secure environment, but the journey ahead is still long. Despite everything she's been through, she remains determined, kind, and incredibly resilient. Her dream is to finish high school, earn her diploma, and one day serve our country by enlisting in the military. This young woman has survived more than most do in a lifetime, and now she’s ready to rebuild but she can’t do it alone. She has no financial support, no job history, and no access to the basics many of us take for granted. We’re kindly asking our community to help her get a fresh start. She needs essential items like clothing, toiletries, school supplies estimated at about $200. Any donation, whether it’s a gift card or cash, will make a meaningful difference in her life. If you're able to help, even in a small way, your kindness will go directly toward giving a determined young woman a chance at a stable and bright future. Thank you so much for considering this request.
