When Karina was a little girl, she dreamed of being a hairdresser. But neither her grandmother nor her foster family had the resources to pay for classes. By the time Karina came to the Shelter with her baby, she had given up on that dream. But that wasn’t the end of the story.
DRUZI gave Karina a vocation.
At the Shelter, Karina’s dream was reborn. She searched online for an affordable class, and brought a proposal to the Shelter staff. Even in the midst of war, YOUR donations provided weeks of tuition and babysitting so Karina could study. She worked hard and received her diploma!
Before the Shelter, Karina didn’t have the skills to provide for her daughter. Now she has a hairdressing certificate and the confidence that comes from having a supportive community.
You can be in Karina’s circle of support! Just $25 can provide two weeks of groceries for moms like Karina. Will you join DRUZI at $25, $50, or even $100 each month?
Karina had a new purpose in life, new friends and mentors, and a new skill set. But housing is one of the biggest challenges for orphanage graduates, and Karina still didn’t have a place to live. That story is next!
PS: Many of you have already demonstrated your kindness and compassion through gifts to bless our youth. Even as we invite you into a deeper connection, we also just want to say THANK YOU!
