I started Strength In Unity because I saw a gap—one that too many kids fall through. I grew up seeing young people with limitless potential get dismissed, overlooked, or forgotten simply because they didn’t have access to the right resources, mentors, or support systems. I’ve watched children go without toys during the holidays, families struggle silently through back-to-school season, and teens wrestle with emotions they don’t yet know how to express. And I knew I couldn’t just watch anymore.
