Driving a big red truck had been her dream since she was a child. But getting there seemed so elusive. She had struggled for most of her life, born to a drug addicted mother and then adopted by a military family. She didn’t feel like she fit in anywhere.

Tumultuous high school years led her to homelessness shortly after. Her past continued to haunt her. She didn’t feel good enough, educated enough or cared for by anyone. That led to some poor relationship choices, which usually ended badly. She just couldn’t seem to break that cycle.

She worked hard at multiple jobs, often exhausted with little to show for it, until she had an amazing opportunity to go to trucking school. She also worked hard at healing. Going to a counselor weekly has made a significant difference in how she sees herself. She now realizes she has value and it shows.

We are so proud of this beautiful girl and the transformation that has taken place over the last couple of years. She now has her own truck and often drives across the country. HART has provided consistency and encouragement to her along the way. It’s hard to walk this world alone and the beauty is, with HART she didn’t have to.
