I donated my time to Turtle Nest Village
Oct 13th, 2007 by Kira
Today my company threw a Golf Gala for a local organization called Turtle Nest Village- it’s not about turtles, it’s about young adults. Kids in foster care become “emancipated” when they turn 18- that’s a fancy way of saying that no matter what time of year it is (for example, half-way through their senior year at highschool) the family taking care of them stops getting a paycheck and throws them out on the street. So unfortunately, these kids who have been abused their whole lives suddenly find themselves homeless, and many turn to unsavory ways of keeping alive. So TNV scoops up as many of the South Florida teens as they can and helps them learn how to live on their own, and helps them out with housing and other stuff. So, I donated an art class as a raffle prize at the event. I can’t wait to find out who won!
