<div>“While our children may be only 22% of the population, they are 100% of our future.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But today, far too many of our daughters are being released from foster care into homelessness, exploitation, and despair—with no place to call home and no one to turn to.
</div>
<div><strong>This is a state of emergency.</strong>
</div>
<div>For far too long, there has been a war waged against our children. And today, that war continues—with our youth being abandoned by systems, confused about their divine identity, trafficked, incarcerated, and forgotten.
</div>
<div>“In the United States alone, about 4.2 million young people and young adults (ages 13–25) face homelessness each year, and nearly 700,000 of them are unaccompanied minors.” (Youth Homelessness Overview, NCSL)
</div>
<div>This isn’t just statistics—it’s a call to action. Millions of youth worldwide lack the basic foundation of a safe home—and, in Jackson, those who’ve aged out of foster care often confront the same fate without intervention
</div>
<div><strong>A Prophetic Answer: A Home in Jackson, Mississippi</strong>
</div>
<div>For Ms. Paula Bass, founder of From Widow To Winner Projects International, caring for youth aging out of foster care isn't charity - it's a divine mandate.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>"Our mandatory mission is to build safe and stable housing
</div>
<div>for youth who age out of foster care."
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With land entrusted to this organization by her dearest Mother, Ella Louise Watson Robinson, who is now in Heaven, Ms. Paula is turning her faith into action. This home, which will be called Ella's House, is not just real estate - it's sacred ground with a sacred vision: <strong>To build the first home in Jackson for young women aging out of foster care.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why We Need Your Help</strong>
</div>
<div>To begin construction, we must raise $85,000 by December 2026 to clear and prepare the land. This is Phase one of a greater vision to create a full healing campus - housing, training centers, and gathering spaces for orphans, and widows, and community restoration.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are moving in faith and working with the city on additional grants - but we can't wait. The need is sounding the alarm now. Young women are aging out as we speak and are in need of safe, stable housing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What a Home Does</strong>
</div>
<ul>
<li>It nurtures vision and identity
</li>
<li>It anchors faith and daily routine
</li>
<li>A place to rest, heal and dream
</li>
<li>A room of one's own to write a new story
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are starting with one home for five young women. But this is just the beginning. With your help, we will expand to build more housing, job training, and intergenerational mentorship spaces where widows and youth co-create futures together.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Join the Movement</strong>
</div>
<div>Let's come together as compassionate neighbors, community leaders, and believers in redemption to bring this vision to life. No gift is too small. Every dollar brings us one step closer to building a safe place to call home. <strong>GIVE. SHARE. PRAY. BUILD WITH US... THIS IS HOW WE WIN!</strong>
