Tanya’s Story at Mission 21

As a community resource for youth survivors and their families we were pretty happy to be able to meet this seemingly small need for this kid. But something as simple as donated clothes from our partners at the Salvation Army and some new essentials bought with the support of our donors, we were able to see a complete change in attitude towards her giving school a shot again. Like Tanya, most of our youth participants experience poverty which makes them very vulnerable to being sexually exploited. Although providing some of these physical needs did not address all of her needs it was a great start. Providing her with a safe place and getting her back to school is just the beginning of a long road to healing. Like with Tanya and the rest of the girls referred to our program, we are in it for the long run and we thank you all for backing us up.
