WOMEN OF TOMORROW CHANGES LIVES
FOUR STAR CHARITY WITH CONTRIBUTIONS WISELY INVESTED
My mother and father were both drug
addicts and alcoholics. Growing up, I
was surrounded by drug abuse, violence
and poverty. It never really dawned on me
how much my grandmother meant to me
and my family until the day we learned she
had been murdered in our own home,
choked to death for money by my mom’s
boyfriend. I was very hurt, angry and
depressed. My siblings and I were soon
split up by the members of our long-time
church. At this point in my life, I was deeply
depressed and emotionally scarred. I
constantly isolated myself from my peers.
Women of Tomorrow showed me that I
was not alone and that there were people
who did care enough to listen to me. I began
to sense feelings of hope, determination,
and faith.
Thanks to Women of Tomorrow, I became
thefirstinmyfamilytograduatefromhigh
school, and thanks to a scholarship they
gave me, I became the first in my family
to attend college. Today I am a registered
nurse. I plan to become a traveling nurse, a
mentor, and a motivational speaker. I would
like to help others just as so many people
have helped me. Women of Tomorrow has
made a huge positive influence in my life
and I will be forever grateful for all that it
has done for me.
