Kayla's Story
"My life could look very differently than it does. I was a young 18-year-old kid who had been living on her own since 16, hopping from one friends couch to the other and even living in my car.
I felt like a young adult with a very limited future. Now I'm a Wife, a Mother, and a career woman. Small acts of kindness played a big role in who I am today. It wasn’t always easy. I had to do the work myself and dig deep to learn to believe in myself and make sacrifices, but it was worth it. I just needed someone to believe in me." (Read the rest of the story.)
