What is my Why?

After facing numerous struggles and setbacks in my own personal life. I realized I couldn't remain stuck in those situations. I needed to take control of my life, and my motivation grew as I witnessed others enduring similar hardships. Shifting my focus from my own challenges and vulnerabilities to helping others allowed me to find purpose; in helping them, I often forgot my own struggles. It became clear that the Lord was calling me to do something significant—something impactful, like starting an organization to provide a safe home for young women aging out of the foster care system, who often find themselves alone and vulnerable. I understood that this initiative would not only address their practical needs but also minister to their past hurts and traumas, fulfilling the Great Commission. Ultimately, my goal is to win souls and restore hope, and that is my why.

Meet Casey and Ms. Andrea

When I met Casey at 18, she was a deeply wounded young woman, yearning for love and guidance after countless nights filled with tears and prayers. Today, she has found Christ, graduated from high school, and is now in college. She is accomplishing everything others said she couldn’t.

Although the journey has its challenges, Casey is now convinced that with the right support, she can achieve anything. The best is yet to come. Ms. Andrea is excited to help many more young women like Casey who need a second chance.
