At 9 years old, Gabi* was being abused in front of a webcam. It was a heartbreaking reality, and the odds were stacked against her. She came to Love146, and your support meant she had a fighting chance… and wow did she take it. She enrolled in an alternative school to catch up. She continued working through immense trauma. She went on a hike for the first time in her life. She participated in her perpetrators being brought to justice. Today, she’s about to graduate with a bachelor’s degree in Information Systems… and dreams to go back and get a Masters of Social Work.

The children we work with have been through so much in their short lives. But this past doesn’t have to define them.
