The difference help can make !


HERE lies an innocent girl whose been tortured by her peers to the point where she’s ready to walk out of life’s very own doors THERE lies a boy whose sexuality becomes a horror movie in front of his fellow classmates THERE lies an innocent beautiful child whose bruises become her shadows and her birthright from her abusive father THERE lies a developing young woman who becomes the eye candy of her stepfather and with a blink of an eye becomes another rape victim THERE lies an insecure young adult who doesn’t know how to make the next step in life to move ahead and not behind THERE lies a well brought up male whose life is turned upside down because of drugs and guns THERE lies a young girl who is misguided because her mother is on drugs and lives in an unstable home THERE lies a young woman whose been raped beaten starved and now exploits her body to gain personal needs THERE lies a set of parents whose lost their daughter or son because time and fate didn’t align with their child’s decision THERE lies a young adult in the hospital who’s barely holding on because of peer pressure of driving drunk JUST A LITTLE HELP AND GUIDANCE FROM YOU!! NOW that innocent girl is helping other teens whose peers are torturing them and showing them that life is too short and that being different is okay NOW that boy accepts his sexuality and raises awareness for the acceptance of his sexuality NOW that beautiful young child only has bruises of hope and love inside her smiling heart from her foster parents NOW that young woman’s stepfather only looks at 12 X 7 cell walls where he is no longer able to hurt another young woman NOW that insecure young adult passed the bar exam from Harvard and now getting hired to the best firm in the nation NOW that young male turned his life right side up with books and knowledge not guns and drugs and motivating other young males on not becoming another statistic NOW that girl that was misguided is now helping her mother stay off drugs and is now able to manage on her own NOW that beautiful young women is no longer blaming herself for the past and selling herself short for urges of men but urging herself to get her life back right with God NOW that set of parents is able to move on and has realized that their child is now walking through the gates of Heaven where the sun sets its rays of love upon their soul NOW that family’s child is saved because someone noticed that drinking while driving needs to be known for all teens around the world With all the help of all of YOU we can now help them and show them that we haven’t forgotten about them and that their lives are worth saving and caring for. Thank you, Shacoya Harrison
