Maya's Story

MEET MAYA,

A young woman who once felt trapped in a cycle of mistakes, isolation, and survival. After spending time in the juvenile justice system, she was searching for something more. Through program and mentoring, she found her way to our youth group and a church community that saw her, not just her past.

Now, Maya is thriving—showing up every week, building friendships, growing in faith, and even connecting with other young girls who are walking a similar road. Her story is proof that redemption is real, community heals, and God is still rewriting stories.

Join the movement by giving today.
