Meet Grace
This is Grace! Those of you who get our emails will recognize her and we are thrilled that she is off the waitlist and in the Ravens Youth Empowerment Program! Grace is a 21-year-old with an unrelenting passion for justice. Despite financial hurdles, she's determined to become a lawyer and advocate for marginalized communities.
Born into a complex family dynamic, Grace has faced unique challenges. Her parents separated when she was young, and her father's polygamous relationships have resulted in a blended family with multiple siblings.
With her stepfather's support, Grace completed secondary education in 2021, but has had to put her university plans on hold due to financial constraints.
Undeterred, Grace learned of and applied to Ravens for support when a church member who happens to be a neighbor shared with her about the Youth Empowerment Program. Although she has had to wait for quite some time, she has kept on fellowshipping and trusting God for an opportunity to return to school. While she's been waiting, Grace has been working with her mother at their small retail shop.
Grace's zeal to break the cycle of financial hardship and create a brighter future for herself and her loved ones has remained unchanged. We are so happy that through Ravens support, Grace’s hope for the future has been restored!
