I'm reaching out for help on behalf of someone who has been through more than most people can imagine.
Ana was born in Kazakhstan and adopted internationally as a child, only to be abandoned and later placed into the “Troubled Teen Industry” — a system that has harmed rather than healed. Now, due to recent traumatic events involving a crime, Ana is being relocated for safety and recovery.
This fundraiser is to support both short-term needs — food, clothing, safe shelter, therapy, and transportation — and long-term goals like stable housing, education or job training, mental health care, and building a life free from the cycle of abandonment and institutional trauma.
Why this matters:
- Abandoned by adoptive family
- No safety net or biological family in the U.S.
- Survivor of abuse and neglect in an American-owned "treatment" facility
- Currently facing extreme instability and danger due to recent events.
Your donation helps with:
- Emergency housing and relocation costs
- Mental health services and trauma recovery
- Food, clothing, and basic necessities
- Creating a stable, independent future
Even $20 can make a difference. If you can’t donate, please share this story to help get support to someone who truly needs a second chance at life.
Thank you for seeing the person behind the pain and believing in healing.
