From Despair to Hope: How Your Support Transforms Lives Like Krista's at The Crossing (2023 Gala Guest Speaker)
Krista once dreamed of becoming a teacher, a mom, and creating a safe home for neighborhood kids. However, a life filled with adversity—abuse, neglect, addiction, and toxic relationships—led her down a destructive path, culminating in her being handcuffed in the back of a police car, high on drugs, and watching her children taken away. Determined to break the cycle, Krista sought help at The Crossing, where she was met with kindness, compassion, and unwavering support. Through the resources and care she received, Krista not only regained custody of her children but also transformed her life. She earned her high school diploma, secured her driver’s license, and is now pursuing a double major in Social Work and Psychology. Krista dreams of guiding others to the light, just as The Crossing guided her.
Krista’s story is a powerful testament to the life-affirming mission of The Crossing. Her journey from despair to hope showcases the profound impact that compassionate support can have on individuals facing overwhelming challenges. By giving to The Crossing, you are helping to provide a refuge, a place where people like Krista can heal, grow, and reclaim their lives. Your support not only changes individual lives but also creates a ripple effect, empowering people to break free from cycles of adversity and fulfill their dreams. Every contribution helps build a future where more families can find hope and strength, just as Krista did.
