April 20th, I’m participating in a 5K and raising funds for Visions & Pathways.
Visions & Pathways is a non-profit organization that provides emergency and long-term support for teens who are at risk of or experiencing homelessness, abuse, or addiction.
I lived at Vision and Pathways when I was in foster care. They were instrumental in my success into adulthood.
At Visions & Pathways, some kids are emotionally shattered, while some have a small crack in their spirit. Some show no physical signs of damage - the scars are on the inside. Visions & Pathways help them put the pieces back together, build their self-esteem and acquire the skills they need to thrive by providing; food, housing, counseling, education assistance, arts and recreation activities, career and employment counseling, scholarships and financial literacy instruction.
Your donation to my run will help meet their day-to-day expenses such as food, bedding, heat and electricity, recreational activities and counseling services. Whatever amount you can donate, will make life easier for teens trying to deal with the trauma in their lives.
Our youth won't make it without the help of a caring community. Thank you in advance for your support. <3
