Survivor Story Day 3

My Life
I am 14 years old. I’ve spent my life in trap houses and drug houses in the southern United States. Mom is still trapped in “the life”. Police and a local non-profit group rescued me, but there was nowhere close by for me to get help. I was afraid I’d have to go back.
I felt both scared and relieved when I found out about Grace Oasis. But when I arrived, for the first time in my life, I felt safe and slept without fear. Grace Oasis has taught me that my life could have a different path. I have learned coping skills and ways to begin to process all the trauma I have experienced. I can use my voice and fight for my own future. I am one who is forever changed and grateful!
