Finding safety & each other
“We didn’t know where to go. Then we found Lightkeepers.”
Tina & Mya's story is rooted in resilience, showing resilience, growth, and the importance of community. This story reflects the heart of resilience, showing how neighbors show up, share resources, and build strength together. It’s about turning small moments into lasting change—one safe conversation, one brave choice, one open door at a time.
Why they reached out
Tina and her teenage daughter Mya were fleeing an unsafe home situation and didn’t feel safe turning to the police. They needed somewhere to land—fast.
How we helped
Lightkeepers connected them with emergency shelter, trauma-informed counseling, and a legal advocate. Today, they have a new apartment, and Mya is back in school.
