Mariah's Resilence

Mariah came to us while living in an abusive relationship with her young son. She had been quietly saving up—waiting for the right moment to leave. Then, one day, she did. She moved into a small apartment and started over.

Mariah is an incredibly talented hair stylist, but she didn’t want to leave her baby with a stranger while at work. So she began cutting hair from her home while keeping a close eye on her son. Word spread. Her client list grew. She moved a few times—each place a little better than the last.

Recently, Mariah was offered a full-time job as a caretaker. After a relative offered to watch her son, she said yes. Now Mariah’s doing both—working days, and cutting hair on evenings and weekends. Her confidence has soared. Her son is thriving at school and has made friends in their neighborhood. This is what your generosity helps make possible.

Would you consider becoming a monthly hero?

$25 or $30 a month provides steady support for families like Mariah’s—people working hard to build something better. Every month, your kindness might reach someone right when they need it most.
