I give because I have been blessed with so much. A caring family, a roof over my head, three solid meals a day. A college education, a great job with great benefits, great friends and family who love and support me. All these things have been given to me, and I believe it's only right that I give back the best I can.
I choose to give to Grace's Table because the young women this organization supports do not have the privilege I had. Often, they are stuck in cycles of poverty, perpetuated by having their own children during their teen years. I can't imagine what that's like, but I know it's got to be hard. And I know that I can be a part of something that might make it easier, better for these moms and their kids.
I'm proud and excited to be a part of it. If we can give even one young girl the opportunity to grow, to rise above her circumstances, to succeed when no one thought she could, it's worth it. I want these girls to know hope and what it feels like to have someone believe in you, to have a place to belong. Grace's Table gives these girls a real community, a true support system, something which many of them have never experienced before in their lives. It's a place where girls can feel safe and secure as they deal with the stress and struggle that comes with raising a child.
I'm so grateful for the work Grace's Table is doing in the lives of these girls, and I hope and pray that you will want to be a part of it, too.
