Meet Karisma
“I can be my own person.”
At age 18, Karisma graduated from high school in May, 2024… something she had a hard time imagining a few years ago.
Karisma admitted that if she had not come to Raintree Village in April of 2022, she would most likely still be on the streets somewhere, completely miserable.
How her life changed in two years! Here’s her perspective…
“Living at Raintree Village has helped me mentally grow as a person and become an adult. It has helped me learn to take accountability for my actions, and it has helped me overall be the person I knew I could be.”
“What I like best about Raintree Village is that I can be my own person for the most part and I’m able to go back to school and graduate. Then I got the emotional support and structure that I always needed and another family after everything I had lost.”
“I really appreciate the fact that I’ve got to experience actually being recognized, and feeling loved, and overall appreciated.”
Karisma is working full time while enrolled in Wiregrass Technical College… also something she had a hard time imagining a few years ago.
